Bug Head Emperor - Audiophile Player


Recommended Posts

I don't know if any of you have heard of this player, it's called Bug Head Emperor.  It was written by this fellow in Japan, and it's the best sounding audio player I've ever heard.  Of course, it's quite likely the ugliest interface for a program you have ever seen, but the fidelity of audio from it makes up for it. He just recently released version 3.00, and it's got some improved capabilities, but just as ugly as ever.  My youngest brother, who lives in Japan introduced this gem to me about a month ago.  I'm not sure exactly how it works and makes audio from your computer sound so good, since the manual and his explanation of its processes are in Japanese (and his English is not super good).

Check it out.  Again, it's nothing to look at, and some of the ways of configuring the sound 'flavors' is a bit odd.  But the quality of audio from this thing is quite spectacular, especially if your music collection is played from your PC into your home stereo system.  Honestly, I wish I could grab the code and the dlls and create a more pleasing interface (something like Foobar).  My sound card is a Asus Xonar Essence STX, and man, does it sound good. 

 

Cheers,
