How is there degradation? Any time you simulate a virtual environment you have to consider that any reasonable listening environment will change the frequency content. The virtual spaces are already designed so that they don't contain the undesirable artifacts of real life room modes, and would in fact sound better than your acoustically untreated living room or bed room. If you were to put sound in a virtual space without any change to its frequency content, then that space would sound "wrong." For example, some reverb devices have a dampen feature, which is to accurately simulate the gradual diffusion of the 3KHz~6KHz range as the virtual room's size gets bigger and bigger. All of this is supposed to make everything sound more realistic and natural. It's not "degradation" of anything.
Isone Pro is a professional audio plugin that has extensive controls and also playback device emulation so there's no need to burn a CD and then check the mix it on various consumer devices for optimal translation. It also has extensive controls for the various parameters that Dolby Headphone does not have. Simple crossfeed or channel mixers do not have sophisticated HTRF parameters or proper room size, room reverb, and speaker distance controls.
but feel free to suggest (or post) another sample for me to use. I can probably find another vocal track, or pull from my music library or (drum) sample packs.
