i've tried it w/ my 595s as well, but in the end i switched back to bsb... on some recordings this "livened" things a bit too much for my taste... take lene marlin - maybe i'll go for example, with this channel mixer>dolbyhp she sounded SO nasal that she must have a nose the size of a melon to get that kindda resonance. With bsb however it sounded more "natural"... but i agree, on some recordings that sounds too flat this DOES help get the toes tappin. Overall, in order of "liveliness" i'd say:
1) channel mixer => dolbyhp
2) stereo to 4 channel => dolbyhp
3) bsb

Unable to download.
Who's got the test version as well?
Can you upload it?

Thank you three times for your help. Thank you and thank you again

Use his link as there no need to mess with .rar files.[/size]

Chungalin, the test version's author, was last active at hydrogenaudio on Feb 22. Sending him a private message on HA would likely be too slow and, [/size][size=x-small] as I have no other contact information, [/size][size=x-small]I am taking the liberty of attaching the test version to this post. Please note again that the file comes from the hydrogenaudio thread.


Downloading instructions:

Because there is a 25KB limit per attachment I had to compress the file into two connected files using winrar. Because attaching files with the .rar extension is dissalowed, I added ".zip" at the end of each file name. So, after downloading, you need to remove the .zip extension from both files and decompress the "part1" file with winrar.

Thanks very much for your help cjs and alleyman.
The sendspace.com site was giving me gateway timeouts, so the .rar files came in handy

Cheers

WOW.

That combination is awesome.

+2 for dolby headphone dll. It's great for "casual" listening (as opposed to using your phones as a disection knife

), very enjoyable soundstage and very non-fatuiging (moreso then crossfeed filters). It puts creative's headphone technologies to a crying shame.
Its surprisingly neutral for a 3D headphone plugin and the first one I heard that can actually be used for music.
The Channel mixer helps it even further, ofcourse it changes the sound character slightly so its not for always-on, but it has a very high fun factor! Surprisingly realistic and natural soundstage, very relaxing.

none of these software plug-ins will work perfectly
to me, i think the inbuilt one worked alright.
(nevertheless, I usually switch it off)

Just put on the channel mixer/dolby settings, and my Beatles recordings take on a whole new level. Thanks for the hints.

Hey guys, I'm very sorry for the inconvenience of leaving the 1.1.1 version in that "limbo". I've just been aware of this problem through HA forum. You should have sent me a PM through that forum and it would have been much faster. Now it's uploaded at the 3rd party foobar2000 components website. The only change is that Dynamic Compression option is disabled by default.

Although I'm no longer using it in a regular basis to listen to music, I plan to keep it updated for all those who enjoy its sound.

I find crossfeed is only needed mostly on older recordings from the 60's. Rarely do I need it for newer recordings. Otherwise I prefer not to use one because they all negate sound quality to a degree. Old Beatles recordings need crossfeed badly.

Hey, can someone AV scan the bs2b_winamp-2.1.0-bin.zip file for me I downloaded from the above sourceforge link. Avast is reporting it contains a trojan. I expect it is a false positive but want to make sure before I use it.

Perception of the same sound is different whether your hear it from "free" and distant speakers or from headphones ( see the bs2b main page ). In fact noone should use headphones without crossfeed.

if you guys wanna have fun, try Vnophones through the VST wrapper of foobar or winamp...much more subtle than any of these amateurish foobar plugins

Do some research and try the ones that are available. Your ears will tell you which one is the best for you.
