DFX Audio Enhancer 11.102

DFX dramatically improves the sound quality of Internet and digital audio. Whether you're listening to downloaded audio tracks or live Internet radio streams, DFX will greatly enhance your listening experience. DFX enhances Internet-oriented audio listening experiences by correcting for the sonic limitations of nearly all the popular data compressed Internet audio formats. Data compressed audio suffers from two major problems: loss of high frequency fidelity and loss of stereo separation and depth. DFX compensates for the loss of high frequency fidelity by carefully regenerating the missing high frequency harmonics in the audio. DFX then compensates for the reduced stereo imaging and depth by carefully generating ambience and stereo depth. Typical PC-based multimedia playback systems and even home stereo playback systems also suffer from limited dynamic range and headroom. DFX compensates for this limited headroom by carefully processing the audio to increase the perceived loudness of the audio without altering the perceived dynamic range. This can dramatically increase the undistorted playback level available when listening to MP3 and other streaming audio files.

Features:

• 3D Surround Sound - Immerse yourself inside the music
• Stereo Ambience - Renew lost stereo depth
• Dynamic Gain Boosting - Pump up the volume
• Headphones Optimization - Hear more pleasant, natural sounds with headphones
• Customizable Music Presets - Select finely-tuned settings for many styles of music
• Booming HyperBass - Produce deeper, richer bass
• High Fidelity Restoration - Eliminate that "muffled" sound
• Spectrum Analyzer - "See" DFX enhance your sound
• Music and Speech Modes - Get optimized sound for any type of audio
• Customizable Skins - Choose from hundreds of amazing skins

What's new in this version:

• Fixed: Audio issue with Windows Media Player on Vista and later
• Fixed: Explore feature now works on supported players
• Fixed: Other miscellaneous bug fixes
