I'd like to introduce a DSP I've been developing these weeks. It's a Dolby Headphone wrapper DSP.
 After some research on Lake DOLBYHPH.DLL bundled with software DVD players, I was able to find out its protocol used to interface with the client app. Then, why not make it work for myself?! And that was how foo_dsp_dolbyhp was originated. It wraps the functionality of the original DLL to be used under foobar2000. You just need to configure the plugin pointing out the location of that DLL in your system. Of course I'll NOT give any help about how to get that DLL. foo_dsp_dolbyhp is available at the usual 3rd party component website. Any comments, criticisms, bug reports and legal issues  are welcome (under this thread).

I can't hardly do anything to improve DH sound output. My goal was just to figure out how to call the DH engine functions (challenging part, since I didn't have any documentation nor source code) and then use that knowledge to implement a plugin for foobar2000.
As far as I know, you can just select the Room Mode from the 3 presets, and that's all the control you have over reverb, etc. However, the function used to set the Room Mode has 3 other parameters that I wasn't able to figure out its meaning. Looks like DH engine hasn't many options to play with. Regarding the question of DOLBYHPH.DLL versions, I have only seen 1.10.0270 (July 9 2002) and I don't know if newer versions have been released over these years. Lake Technology website provides no info about current development of this project. GiGurra, what do you mean with "Dolby Headphone DAC" ? It's supposed that all official implementations of DH, even if they're on hardware, should sound the same. Thanks for all the feedback
