Binaural rendering is typically assessed via timbre;
localization accuracy, while its intrinsic spatial
resolution remains rarely quantified. This paper proposes a
perceptual evaluation method based on Minimum Audible Angle
(MAA) measurements to estimate the azimuthal
just-noticeable difference (JND) introduced by binaural
rendering algorithms. We systematically compared several
rendering algorithms across eight reference azimuths using
two participant-allocation paradigms. The results show that
spatial resolution is significantly influenced by Ambisonic
order; choice of the rendering alrorithm, with MAA
thresholds systematically decreasing as the truncation
order increases. Furthermore, the propsed method
successfully captures physiological spatial characteristics
; identifies resolution limits imposed by reference
angles. While both participant-allocation paradigms yield
consistent qualitative trends, the repeated-measures design
provides superior data stability. These findings
demonstrate that the proposed MAA-based method is an
effective tool for quantifying the spatial resolution of
binaural rendering algorithms.
