DFX Audio Enhancer Improve your digital audio experience. ...improving the sound quality ...a simple sound equalizer, it ...
DFX Audio Enhancer gives your digital music files more vibrancy and enhances your music listening experience byimproving the sound quality of music played over your computer, whether it's music files you own, or music you're listening to online.
Impressive claims
The developers claims that with DFX Audio Enhancer, you cantransform the sound of your PC into that of an expensive stereo system "placed in a perfectly designed listening environment'.
DFX Audio Enhancer seems to work with a huge range of services, from music and video sites like YouTube, Pandora and Netflix, as well as music services like iTunes, Spotify, VLC, QuickTime, and other media players.
Old interface looks dated
There's no other way to say it - DFX Audio Enhancer looks tacky. It has the kind of "control center" looks that were popular in the early 2000s and which just look terrible today.
Once you get past DFX Audio Enhancer's looks, you'll be disappointed to also find that the sliders don't work in this free version. You can simply enable or disable the various options, like Fidelity and Hyperbass.
Not a miracle solution
In reality however, DFX Audio Enhancer seems to add nothing more than a bit more body to your music. That said, it does allow you to control stereo depth, renew stereo depth, boost your audio levels and produce a deep, rich bass sound.
You can also do most of that with a full-featured media player or by tweaking the sound options on your PC, but lots of users will appreciate the added ease of controlling all this via the one interface.
Pros
- Improves sound quality
- Easy to enable/disable
- Skins available
Cons
- Looks old-fashioned
- Limited effect

An excellent audio player with handy extra tools
AIMP is the best audio player we’ve tested in a long time. It’s beautifully designed and has tons of features that make it the perfect choice as your default player.
With AIMP you can organize your MP3 files in a library, edit tags if necessary and enjoy them in excellent audio quality. AIMP works with other popular formats as well, including karaoke files and several playlist formats.
AIMP offers all the standard playback functions you find in other similar apps: an 18-band equalizer, visualization effects, a separate window to view your current playlist, fading effect between songs, a normalizing filter to avoid sudden volume changes and support for global hotkeys.
But there’s more to AIMP than just that. The program also plays online streaming radio stations, includes a complete tag editor and can be set to repeat a certain part of the song – which comes in handy when you’re trying to decipher the lyrics!
The interface in AIMP is both attractive and intuitive. All functions and buttons are clearly laid out, and the design can be easily tweaked with skins.
We tried hard to find any, but there are really no cons about AIMP. It’s an awesome audio player you just have to try.
If you’re still searching for the perfect music player, AIMP may be the answer.
