Any alternative to Dolby Headphone?

Hi,

I'm a sucker for virtual soundstage.
Maybe one day I'll have money for a 2000 Euro open back headphone which sounds like if I have the musicians in front of me, or for the Realiser A16, but until then I'm stuck with decent headphones and a good virtual soundstage DSP.
My laptop came with I have DTS Headphone:X and DTS:X Ultra, and my Audeze Maxwell came with Dolby Atmos.
I swear on my bigger testicle that I hear almost no difference with or without any of them.
Well, DTS:X Ultra (which unfortunately only works with cabled headphones) does something, but still not even remotely close to the spacious sound of Dolby Headphones or of the DTS:X 3D Surround on some LG phones.

Now, the issue that I have with the "Dolby Headphone wrapper + DOLBYHPH.DLL" combo is that it only supports up to 48000, and only works with the 32-bit version of Foobar.
The latter is not a problem for me.
But the former is a pity because the Audeze Maxwell support up to 96000, and I have a lot of FLAC in 96000.

So, I'd like to know if there are good virtual soundstage DSP which support 96000.
With "good" I mean as natural as possible. At least as good as Dolby Headphones, preferably better.

If not, I at least hope to find an alternative which despite having the same 48000 limitation of Dolby Headphone might offer a better and more customizable sound.

Thanks!
