This is the new crossfeed component, is it any different from all the others? 
Just a simply question since i never used crossfeed, this is my first time and i like how it sound (not everytime tough) 

 

also, where should i put it? after the resampler or before?

The OP of said thread, say this xfeed crossfeeds the high freqs as well so high freq instruments are also moved forward in the soundimage produced unlike other crossfeed implementations which only(according to him) move the mid and lows only.

 

Crossfeed generally makes tracks with substantial channel separation sound more natural by giving the illusion of using speakers on headphones. 

 

As you want a clean signal for resampling, xfeed goes after resampler I believe.

Gonna try it out soon too. dt880smile.png

Interesting. I'll have to try this later. Sometimes I use the Bauer stereophonic-to-binaural (bs2b; also a certain crossfeed) DSP, which is discussed in the thread. Hopefully this is better!

I found head-fit to sound much better than bs2b, and it crossfeeds both highs and lows, although every crossfeed degrades the SQ more or less IMO, I'm using none atm. If you are really after a speaker-like experience with headphones try Isone Pro or google for downloadable HRTFs and plug 'em into a stereo convolver.
