What is the best crossfeed plugin that will work with foobar 0.8.3? I need a good one that won't cause echoing and make the the music sound like it's bouncing around in a tin can.

I can't tell much of a difference between the standard foobar software crossfeed and the Meier Audio hardware crossfeed in my Corda Aria. And just as I said: I don't find the crossfeed effect subtle - just try it for some time and switch it off again and you'll probably be surprised. However I hear some of crossfeed's downsides too: a slightly less focused and tight bass and an overall slightly 'looser' image. |

Here is the thread on Hygrogenaudio forum: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/...howtopic=39404 It goes beyond what the standard crossfeed tries to do in that "it makes you think you are hearing a five-speaker home theater system, when in fact you are listening over ordinary stereo headphones." The concensus is that in Foobar2000 the order Convert to 4 channels ---> Dolby Headphone is the best configuration. In the plugin itself set room as DH1, Amplification at 50% and point it to dolbyhph.dll version 1.10.0.270 on your computer if you have a software based dvd player like PowerDVD installed. This dll was developed by the Lake division of Dolby Labs. See this link for more on the concept: http://www.dolby.com/consumer/techno...one_story.html ... I have not heard any of the hardware based crossfeeds but IMO it is far better than bs2b, which I first tried. |
