Been demoing this plugin for a while (with Winamp, Foobar, MYMP3PRO and some music creation software) and it seems to be an excellent product, if you're looking features like Panorama offers.
Panorama
Binaural virtual acoustics processor plug-in for VST, MAS, Audio Units, RTAS, and DirectX host applications.
Go beyond the limitations of conventional stereo, without using a surround system!
Panorama is a specialized tool for creating stunningly realistic 3-D audio scenes using regular stereo sound. The DSP technology in Panorama reproduces psychoacoustic sound localization and distance cues, allowing you to pan sounds in three dimensions: not just left and right, but up, down, front, back, near, and far. Panorama combines 3-D audio panning with acoustic environment modeling, including wall reflections, reverberation, distance modeling, and the Doppler pitch effect. While primarily intended for headphone listening, Panorama also includes a crosstalk canceller for playback over conventional stereo loudspeakers.
* Position and move sound in three dimensions
* Uses Head-Related Transfer Functions (HRTF) to reproduce binaural sound localization cues.
* Integrated reverberation and distance cues
* Extensive control over dimensions and surface material of all six surfaces of the room
* Doppler pitch effect
* Full automation support for creating moving sounds
* Crosstalk canceller for loudspeaker playback
Applications:
* Create realistic sound scenes
