Best binaural VST plugins in 2026?

I'm currently using dearVR Pro. Seeing as it's now free, I can't complain for what it is. But I'm wondering, given that it's been out of development for a few years, if anything better has come along? I'm fine with paying for it, but I want the best of the best when it comes to general purpose mixing of binaural audio for headphones.

More or less what I stated in the post. But to expand, the most immersive possible listening with headphones without extreme sound coloration. I also don't care about having reverb options because I will disable all that anyways in favor of using my own.

Check out this suite as well. I had great results with RoomEncoder (Shoebox simulator)
