Better sound-staging with Foobar2000

[evilmerlin 0]

Not sure if you guys have this, The Holy Grail of True Sound Stage (Cross-Feed: The Next-Generation)

 

I stumbled across this gem in Head-fi. In a quest to get better (or in his own words, True Sound-Staging), he found some Foobar2000 components and plug-ins that helped. I've tried it and it works pretty damn well! Give it a try, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. After using it, it really does give you the feel surround sound!

You would need to place the files inside foobar folder under components..
