I don't get it - you collect classical performances but don't want to hear what the orchestra/ conductor & producers intended you to hear - instaead you run it through a load of electronic audio fakery ??? ( I googled that package - it's full of such gems as "harmonic exciters" - I bet beethoven make no allowances for that in his scores
)
Any MP3 player reproduces exactly what is in the mp3 file - it has to ' cos we are talking digital. anything you do after that is changing the sound. so we haed towards a calibre player ( the equivalent of calibre viewer) but with extra electronic doo -dahs. That's a slippery slope. A real audio purist will tell you to never to mess with the audio - be it via Creative x-fi fakery or 99+ band eq tools - leave that to the rappers & hip hop crews.
anything you
don't like has to be an artifact of converting that back to analogue i.e. it s within your sound card / sound chip D/A conversion, or or amp or you speakers, depending where exactly the sound ceases to be digitised.
come to think of it, what are you using mp3 anyway - a true purist collector should be spinning the vinyl or converting only to lossless flac or wav format.
