NEW: SoX Resampling
blgentry:
I'm pretty sure SoX works anywhere resampling is done. That should include DLNA. MC is pretty centralized in how it processes audio.

Hi
I tried it today with MC22.
Works good, however no difference to the old SRC (in sound).
I actually used sample-rate conversion to adjust variable source rates to a fixed DAC-rate. Now my DAC (RME Fireface UFX) can switch to the source samplerate including the audiovero acourateconvolver FIR-filter (I have for each samperate a filterset defined).
I have seen some people believe an upsampling will enhance the sound. I can't follow that claim. The only reason would be if a DAC will work better at a higher rate.

It would be so easy to set up parameters in a hidden menu somewhere. It is not nice that you decide not to give the users the option instead forcing us to use what you considered the best setting. :(

They cannot be expected to give the capability to adjust every parameter involved in audio.
A casual web search of some discussions of SOX indicated audiophiles who were using the same parameter settings that JRiver chose (Linear Phase, VHQ, Steep Filter), so it seems that the choices were not arbitrary.
Remember that those who really care about such tiny differences can obtain SOX and use it offline to convert their files in advance, using whatever settings they like.
Matias:
Sure we can use it in advance and duplicate our entire music collection in our HDDs... not an elegant solution.
And this DSP already has parameters ready, why not give the tweakers options to tweak for example hidden in that menu where the DSD low pass filter setting is. Really 1 hour of coding and testing. I bought V22 just for this, else I would have stayed behind.
