Creative Xmod
Creative's Xmod enhances compressed audio by effectively converting it to 24-bit audio ; attractive and easy-to-use hardware ; no drivers required ; PC and Mac compatible ; works with any audio source ; priced right

The reasonably priced Creative Xmod does a remarkable job of making audio sound brighter, deeper, and more vibrant.

Crystalizer" feature makes some low-quality MP3s sound fuller
Virtual surround is awful. Reproduction of CD-quality audio worse than the DAC in my generic CD-ROM drive
