No. Unzip somewhere else and drag the foo_channel_mixer.dll into the components folder only. Just because it has numerous dll's doesn't mean you need to use every single one.

Simply download foo_channel_mixer.7z a 7-Zip file, unzip with winzip/winrar and place foo_channel_mixer.dll in the foobar components folder. Start foobar, move the channel mixer over to active DSP.

Link works fine for me, not sure what I need to update?

Thank you that worked I haven't used winzip before, that must have made the difference. Thanks again

Great to hear! ~ Let us know what you think of the mod once you've had a chance to familiarize yourself with it.

What is the active dsp?

 

[Graphicism]

Foobar > File > Preferences > Playback > DSP Manager - shows list of available DSPs, simply drag them over to Active DSP to configure and use.

Thanks for responding so quickly, I didn't see the branches.

 

[jeepdad]

Wow this is a really cool tool. Thanks for putting this info up and thanks for the help. I will def. be playing with this!

 

[fenixdown110]

There's over a dozen different settings to play around with. Have fun.

A long time ago when I first started using this setup, someone told me that this effect only gets better with a better setup. I was somewhat skeptical, as I thought it would reveal more flaws. But to heck it IS better! My panasonic HJE900s sound absolutely incredible with this setup(though I'm using free surround), especially after messing with the settings and some EQing. I almost want to cry at the aural beauty XD. With my other headphones, I did feel like I might be losing a bit of something. But with these, perhaps because they are so much faster, I feel like I can catch so many things I wasn't noticing with them before I turned on Graphicisms setup, and soundstage is just giving me that "out of head" experience thats especially hard to find with IEMs, because heck, they ARE in your head. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

haha. what a cool post. I don't know how many times I throw on my HD650s (or even my cheapo Grados) and I'm constantly and honestly surprised by the sound coming out. Its such an enjoyable experience.

I really like it but i've also tried Dolby Pro Logic II it sounds better imo but couldn't get it to work with foobar.

Did you ever see this: Dolby Pro Logic II wrapper

I have never tried it myself but figure it may be what you are looking for.
Hope this helps.

I posted a Guide to Dolby Headphone on your DAP in the Portable Source forum if anyone is interested.

I've tried to achieve the same effect using Dolby Pro Logic but I could not.

Also the effect is absolutely headphone dependent. The 4.1 setup on Channel mixer sounds wonderful on my HD595, almost no timbre change, out of the head soundstage but upfront presentation, really fun setup for rock and metal. However it sounds absolute crap on my ATH-CKM55. Tried many different setups and the soundstage only gets congested, barely outside my head, and distorted (its in a curve shape, near my ears but far from my nose). These ATH already have outstanding soundstage for IEM at this price, so I'll stick with their stock sound
