Quick question if I may. I see there is a check box within DSP studio called 'headphones'. Checking it brings up an option to set crossfeed. I assume because I am using the SW3 headphone plug in I should leave this disabled? Ta. Do NOT enable headphones. Why not?

If you want to enable crossfeed, enable it. Otherwise don't.

Funny thing that crossfeed has kind of gone out of vogue and yet, if it's well done, it can help a lot of people with left/right issues on headphones. I find it odd if there is anything extreme in a headphone and prefer to use the implementation on the Ifi which seems quite subtle and adds more of a sense of air to the sound.
I's try it, Simon because the chances are that the Sonarworks version is a really good implementation are high.
A good crossfeed gives the impression that you've 'cleared' your nose!! I used to use a Jan Mieir one but it was stolen and I never replaced it. So well built and with variations too. They can help a lot.

The Headphone option in the DSP window is provided by JRiver, not Sonarworks. It's built-in to the player. It's actually very good. There's about five levels of crossfeed available. I only use the lowest 'subtle' level.

Ok Gordon. Well, JRiver is a great piece of software as well, recommended by many pros. It was the levels available on the old Mieir unit that I had that was really useful.

Hi Simon. I posted in another thread asking if you're using Foobar on Windows. You are, I know that. For the record, although I use JRiver I would probably still be using Foobar if I was still on Windows but I switched to Mac years ago. Anyway, Akshey has it right in his instructions above. However it's possible you don't already have a 'VST Plugins' folder (my memory on that is hazy but it's possible that's not standard). If not you'll need to go into the Components folder of your Foobar installation and create a 'VST Plugins' folder. Then copy the VST plugin into that folder. Then you need to restart Foobar and go into its preferences and navigate to the plugins folder. Once there you ned to select Sonarworks. That should be it, job done. If not I'll try to figure it out better. Alternatively do as Akshey says and try out the demo of JRiver. For reference - most people on Mac's who use JRiver only do so because it's as close to Foobar as it's possible to get on a Mac. Neither is better than the other but on a Windows machine I'd definitely be using Foobar. It's free and if there's a difference in sound quality I'd be willing to bet that us oldies aren't going to hear it. Good luck. i must have downloaded the wrong thing cos none of this makes sense. foobar sees no vst plugins. im going to uninstall everything and start again.

Thanks mate but I already tried that after the first time you posted it. I don't think the plugin installed correctly after downloading. I am considering taking the plunge and buying a licence as I cannot find my trial key. Must have deleted it by mistake. After the trial download it asks you to install selected items . Should I install them all?

No. You only need to install one component & if you're using Foobar2000 or JRiver that would be the VST component.
