No, Foobar is an audioplayer. You could try a software made by Razer, they offer virtual surround for everything. the You can try it for free.

Hi, I'm new here and just created an account to post my experience with this setup so far.
 
My music collection consists primarily of stereo FLACs. With my headphones, I did a few enable/disable tests to see what the difference was like, and the vocals sounded less "defined" but the entirety of the songs would be more balanced.
 
I'm sure that it's subjective, but since I personally favour hearing the vocals more distinctly, I disabled this setup for now. I'm an average person, so I'm not qualified to say whether this setup is good, or not.
 
Perhaps this setup works better only if the songs themselves were meant for 5.1 surround sources, and not stereo sources. I think I'll stick to fooling around with the equalizer.

I get even more soundstage changing these settings:
 
in channel mixer:
general
stereoimage width   1.50
 
upmix 
center 1.00 (or more, necessary to make vocals stronger)
rear in front 1.0 (this gives the extra soundstage)
 
It works well in several occasions, sounds awful in low kbps mp3s though.

Thanks! This is gonna come in handy when I get my hands on Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here on Hybrid 5.1 SACD.

Has anyone else had trouble adjusting the 'channel mixer' when using a 5.1 FLAC audio file? It plays fine but I'm not able to turn off any of the channels regardless of what I do (I have set it to 2 channels,saved it in the profile and restarted, just to have it set back to 6 channels) Maybe it's not possible...idk.ty

i cant get this to work and i really want to. do i need to load the dsp i saved?  every time i go to ''active dsp' it only shows equalizer.  need help please .

 

[juandavidblues]

It is sounds greats thank you OP, I am testing the setting in my sony mdr xb400 and sound very well

 

[spamme]

There's no point in doing that. Why would you try to simulate 5.1 when you already have it native?
what you wanna do in channel mixer is setting output channels to 6 (because now you have 6 channels...) and also enable  "use subwoofer".

This is so awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Have you guys tried with "convert stereo to 4 channels" and dolby headphones only? The first plugin comes native to foobar. Just place the dolby plugin to DH2 and amplification to 70% if you find the bass clipping on some songs. Gives that little ohmph to linear/flat headphones while retaining the "free" extra soundstage

Does this have any impact on my stereo music files?

Of course, that's what's it 'made' for. It takes 2 channels and splits them in 5 virtual directions.
 
Give it a try...

Dude, seriously, this one's like porn.
I had to change my underwear. Thank you for sharing.
 
Just a question. Using this method with WASAPI drivers and D-Zero MKII DAC+AMP I notice cracks listening to some songs. How can I prevent this?
I alreay played with buffer.

 

[Priscilla Rose]

I just learned that if you turn the headphone amplification to 200%. It gives you double the impact!

 

[GloriousLettuce]

Well thank you... changed my life just there.
 
I wish DAP-s had this...
