Listening and processing in mastering is driving the car.
You don't want to learn that on the internets!
That's also why I think Lagerfeldt was spot on. Knowing all too well such an answer is a typical frustration among newcomers eager to learn. Been there, done that. Though I can feel the irksomeness of that perhaps seemingly vague mystical thing, I still think it's the right answer! When I was in that situation, seeing such answers to such questions made me look elsewhere.
The answer literally came out out of speakers.
