winamp audiophile plugins?

[dowxp]

i forgot to back up my winamp plugin folder and i forgot what i had installed. i run HD600's and i can tell the difference between changes in sound. i currently use dfx. but i did have a input mp3 decoder plugin that filters out bad "parts" of mp3's.. anyone know of this or somethign related to this?

Cough, cough ............ (Hardware........)

But I hope the mods just move this to the software forum, because I am intrigued about that input plugin and I would like to have it also.

Unless its not free, EAC does a pretty decent job for me of making them without much noise, but I am not listening through anything close to audiophile level speakers so I couldn't say for sure anyway.

I don't know if this is the one you're looking for: MAD plugin for Winamp.

My buddy recommended it to me a while ago but I never got around to using it until a few weeks ago. It's wonderful! It sounds way better than the stock Winamp. I use an outboard D/A converter into my home stereo system (high-end stuff using tubes, my primary listeing source is LP's) and have never been too impressed with mp3/digital audio sound quality until I started using this plugin. The music seems to stand out from the background more clearly than before, there is less underlying "noise".The soundstage is also much more well-defined.

Give it a try, If you have enough resolution in your system I think you will be quite impressed.

The MAD plugin is what you're looking for. Since you're also using HD600's (me too), you may want to get the crossfeed plugin for headphones at http://www.headwize.com/projects/kopjov_prj.htm. And try it out.
