I have acquired the Classic EQ dll (from the discussion above.)
Unzipped it. Put the unzipped file in the foobar dll components folder with the other dlls that are in there.
Rebooted.
No change to the EQ that loads from View in Foobar. Where did I go wrong?
is there something to delete to avoid conflict?

Classic EQ dll, as well as any other VST plugin does only run with VST plugin installed. (See earlier posty)
1. Install VST plugin for foobar
2. Klick on the blue VST icon in the tray
3. Klick on VST Setup
4. Add folder
5. Rescan All
6. Select Use VST Effect and select Classic EQ

Ok, thanks. This all very new for me. I appreciate your patience in answering simple questions with which DIY audio has always been good.
To my question: is the Classic EQ dll in the right place?
I will go through the above instruction and see what happens.

Hi Lon, It´s possible to keep the dll-files in the components folder, but I think it´s better to create a separate folder for your vstplugins and scan that folder during the VST setup.

I have just read the thread for this vst plugin. There is a lot of enthusiasm for it and the link to the newest version (Feb. 2009) is available. Much of the talk in there is over my head though.
George Yohng's VST wrapper for Foobar2000 - Hydrogenaudio Forums
Perhaps making a new thread or searching in Digital Audio is now called for?

I am back.
Have installed George's foobarvst wrapper.
The readme sez make sure that George vst is in active dsp's. The configure and component options are greyed out-- hence no ability to select. I have not seen the way past this hurdle unless Playback has to be on.
The help button led me nowhere. By this I mean the link (rather than a local help file) did not show how to activate configure.
To be sure, as mentioned above, this is part of the steep learning curve for Foo.
Any advice?

Getting closer maybe.
At #4 is the folder to add the component folder or all Foobar or something for vst only?
maybe as soon as Dave or others come up with some experience with the dsp and the fullrangers we should split this thread from the computer stuff and keep here the results of testing expecially with fullrange drivers... this thread can be usefeul for in the future there'll be more and more knowledge of this particular application...
in the meanwhile if someone didn't know of it i post here the link to the super japanese experiments with the alpair5:

Select VST setup and then add the folder where you want to save your downloaded vst-modules. It´s purely for the VST.
Finally rescan the folders for new dll-files. Verify that the add-ons are listed under Use VST Effect.

Foobar setup for VST
Make sure that the vst wrapper is listed under components
http://www.superenkelt.se/images/components.jpg
Check that the vst wrapper is listed under active dsp
http://www.superenkelt.se/images/dsp.jpg
All other settings are configured via VST setup.

The previous poster is right. I am moving this to the digital forum
It has the title "foobar audio player how-to for easy searching."
maybe a moderator can move the related posts to make each thread more comprehensive, if there is such a word
i installed foobar finally so i'll be one asking in the other thread 🙂

Ok, good deal. I have begun the thread in digital. If cal or other moderator can make a sticky of the discussion so far in digital fine. If not we will be starting from square one.
Too often I have gone to one of the tech forums like Hydrogen Audio and found that noob questions would be answered. But the likelihood of shorthand combined with a handful of unexplained links which may be the right answer or not I began to call "being sent to the haystack" (to find the needle your own self.) My how to thread in DIY will be for beginners like you and myself.

Anders (acarinanders), I am now using the same USB DAC you are -- the Music Streamer+ ($299 US). To my ears, it's really good. Do you still love yours?
Human.bin, this particular DAC works on Linux out of the box with no problems. I'm running WAV's through it on a four-year-old machine with Ubuntu Linux 8.04. Smooth as silk!

This is maybe off topic but if there is software to run a USB receiver such as my Yamaha mentioned above then USB upgrades given open source programming interest should be available. Reading here I surmise that bypassing the motherboard/PC card audio is producing an enhancement not available any other way.
And players such as Foobar contribute to this control. But what about USB programming itself? There have only been a couple of USB receiver audio products: The Yamaha and the Outlaw (Outlaw Electronics) that I know of.

Hi Lon,
Does the USB output on your Yamaha output digital audio? It might be useful, but you want to only do one digital-to-analog conversion, so what's most useful is using the PC (where you can EQ digitally) to output to a DAC, and then go straight into a preamp or amp.
However, there could definitely be interesting possibilities with your USB-equipped receiver. We bought a washing machine recently, and they wanted to sell us the dryer so the two machines could communicate over USB (!)

rjbondjr,
When I was in the fabric store they were pitching a USB controlled sewing machine. I didn't hang around to listen.
The USB receiver connects via USB 1. There is software on disk to install to Windows. That machine has Win2k. There is an on screen control panel. There are 6 DSP modes you can click on for hall, church and "live" effects plus a through mode with no effects. On screen also controls the Am/FM. There is right left balance control plus a test mode which does white noise shifted through 2 front and 2 "simulated" rear speakers. Also a five band EQ with presets. The RPU200 has true 5:1 setup but I have the RPU100.
When you try to use the RPU100 from the receiver itself, you run into problems. No way can I figure out how to use the front panel buttons which have multiple functions. I need the on screen control to fix things to make the tuner usable. I think this is why the product(s) was discontinued and remaindered which is how I got it from buy.com.
I know of no way to access the program code from the install disk.
But sooner or later something will go wrong with it. I'm so used to using the onscreen features it would be hard to revert to twisting knobs.
I cannot answer the question about the DAC directly without going through the manual. But this connection makes me think that all DSP is done from the receiver. And yes, it turns on and off from the screen as well.

Aha! Okay, so the USB port is for device control. Interesting. I'm sure you could use that five-band EQ to some advantage!
I'm intrigued by Bob saying he sets EQ to match the driver graph. I have no idea how to do that effectively.
to the ones still interested in using foobar under window:
windows7 has a speacial mode for audio-sessions that can be used to have bit-perfect playing, it just like ASIO was, but without installing ASIO, all you need to do is install the WASAPI component from the foobar site/component section (also there is foobar ver 1.0 finally out)
then you go to menu:file/prefereces/playback/output/outputdevice and select wasapi
at the end i settled with the WST wrapper plugin and the electriQ free 64bit graphic equalizer... it makes for a really powerful tool (switch it to digital without eco mode, from the default analog mode). you can download it here:
