I agree 100%  and I'm pretty sure Lunatique does too. I think my English could have been clearer. I did not mean to suggest that one should prefer Isone.   Chris

  You can't really have it both ways re Redline Monitor. Even they say they are more than just a crossfeed (note nifty extras, room simulation etc.), which by the way, is the only reason they can begin to try to get away with charging $70. A typical crossfeed is usually included free or at a...

According to the Redline Website   " Basically it is a so called 'crossfeed plugin' with a few nifty extra's, that add extra spatiality while keeping the sound as clean as possible. It combines filtering, frequency-dependent delaying, mid/side processing, and room simulation to create a...

What's particularly difficult or perhaps tedious about setting up Isone is that there are so many variables.   Having a lot of variables has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are obvious but the disadvantages maybe less so. For instance you may set A to its optimum (for you)...

Does this happen with music, or just movies? If just movies, you might consider a limiter, or if it's just very occasionally with music you might consider it there too. Also, JRMC has a soft clipping setting, have you tried that?   Another option is a compressor, something I wish car stereos...

Agreed about it being a personal thing. However, I don't want any program to change the general characteristic of my system (unless of course I don't like my system). And TB_Isone doesn't do that if used correctly--so that's good.   As to using an EQ with it. I messed around with and without...

Actually, I was using eq with the AD900s before ever using TB_Isone, because the phones have a too prominent high frequency response for me, particularly for classical music. So I just naturally kept it inline when I added TB. Anyway, I'll definitely take a closer listen to see what the...

I was planning to do that (and have in the past but didn't do it carefully enough so didn't come to any real conclusions). I've also switched the order, not much difference there.    In the mean time, how did it mess up Isone in your system? IOW, what sonic problems did it create?   -Chris

Ok, I did one relatively short test of JRMC vs. Foobar re TB_Isone. I also used EasyQ in both (a great little PEQ) and Audio Technica AD900s as phones. The music was piano, bass and drums with lots of well recorded cymbals.   I used only the "Average Joe" setting in TB_Isone, and tried to...

Hey, thanks a lot guys. I got TB_Isone working with Foobar, with your help. I haven't compared the sound with JRiver yet, but will report back if I notice any significant difference.   -Chris

Hi Chodi, sorry to bother you but.... I can't figure out how to install TB_Isone into Foobar2000. It seems like it should be simple, but it doesn't show up as a choice under components when I choose install, and I tried copying the .dll into the Foobar components folder but that didn't work...

I will try it, thanks. And JRiver is annoying that way (re your other post); they act like they're better than everyone else, and they don't like anyone to hint that something they have isn't as good as Tb-Isone for instance.    Chris

Yes, that's the problem I'm having too. And I wrote to the author too and he replied in the same way to me. And as to changing the standard presets, I had to uninstall and reinstall to set the presets back to default values. It is annoying but as you said, it is a nice program. By the way, in...

I'm not sure what you mean by "all your current settings." What I want it to display is the name of the setting I'm using. If I load "sound stage" I want it to tell me that I'm using the sound stage settings when I'm playing music. But nowhere that I can see does it tell me which preset it is...

I agree, it sounds great when setup well.   Have you found a way in JRiver 19 to get it to show what settings are playing. IOW, if you save something like "Good Soundstage" and then load it, does it tell you somewhere that it's being used?   -Chris

I recommend it too.   It may take some time to setup, but in the end it's definitely worth the few dollars and time.   Don't be afraid to experiment with settings, even if they seem over the top or counter intuitive. You never know with this sort of thing. And remember it's not about bit...

I'm curious; how does Isone differ from OOYH, or what does it do to the typical headphone sound, might be a better question. I've heard several people here mention it and am just wondering about it.   Chris

Well here's something new (to me at least) and interesting.   Today I got out a NOS dac that I've been intending to sell (Scott Nixon Tube Dac 2.2), just to try something different, and boy did I get something different.   In the other setup I'd been trying out I'd become quite discouraged...

I understand how it works, it just doesn't make for relaxed listening which I think is key to learning to hear OOYH correctly, as you put it.   By the way, I don't think people would be satisfied to steal a product that they had to switch presets every 10 minutes; or maybe a very few would...

Hi again Darin,   Just saw your new MC19 Wasapi instructions. You're fast. I will try them later and see what happens.   Thanks,   -Chris

Yes listening and getting used to the sound seems like a good idea. However, the problem is the 2 minute per setting allotted time. I can hardly get setup to listen (get the volume level right and myself situated) and the time's up. I think I'd need at least ten minutes to sit back and relax and...

Thanks for your response Darin.    Yes I did follow instructions re Wasapi. But your choices look a lot different than mine. For instance there is no choice for just Wasapi, it's always Wasapi and a dac combination, or Wasapi and OOYH. I am using MC19 version .67. Perhaps your version is...

Hi, I haven't been able to get the OOYH to work with JRiver MC19. I followed the instructions and tried all kinds of things but could not get it to work with Wasapi. I use a Musical Fidelity V-Link and V-Dac. MC would not let me select 8 channels, and when it played with 2 channels it bypassed...
