I bought these fairly recently and they do exactly what they say on the tin.
It's the same technology used on several CD releases - Mdonna Immaculate Collection, Pink Floyds Pulse etc.

Best of all if you encode with these - carefully - you can play the resul;ting stereo file back through an old SQ Quad decoder. And it comes out in lovely 4.0 sound.
Even works nicely through Dolby ProLogic II, Dolby Surround (AKA Dolby Pro Logic) and LCRS type decoders.

Sorry, which one are you referring to?

Eric.

Sorry about the vagueness of that post - reading it back it was poor!
I was referring to the Q-Sound DirectX plugins.
They need a lot of practise to get right, but when it is right it can be great.

I have a few DVD-A discs created in 4.1 from running Q-Sound CD through a Tate II SQ decoder.
Roger Waters - Amused to Death
Pink Floyd - Pulse
Madonna - Immaculate collection.

The first 2 are at 24/96, and Madonna is at 24/88.2.
They sound great! Superb separation can be obtained here.
