    Sorry for not specifying.  Yes, I do create the WAV files using Winamp
running the Nullsoft Disk Writer plug-in with the DFX DSP active.  I wish
there
was a more elegant way of doing this, but that plug-in does seem to make
better
CD's from MP3's.

P.S. I ONLY use the fidelity enhancement, the ambiance seems to be to
artificial, and the dynamic boost is only useful sometimes, and the 3D sound
is
unavailable in the shareware/demo version.
