I have worked on the technical side in top end studios in London for the past 30 years.
But I do not live in a perfect world and there is no such thing as a perfect DAC.
In order to improve the accuracy of digital to analogue conversions designers have been up-sampling digital audio within their DACs for years.
I think SoX is just another way of trying to improve the digital conversion process and I would certainly not dismiss its results.

Brilliant post. Thank you.

This is the interface of Resampler-V, a free foobar plug-in. It has parameters to tweak and graphics showing the changes. Just brilliant.
Why can't we have this in JRiver too??

Interesting discussion. But maybe you should start with explaining what it is and the benefits with PCM and DSD I could achive and not least how, in case there is more to do than ticking the box.
I'm just a user and not an engineer...

Are you referring to the entire feature? Or just the post before yours?
If you are referring to the feature as a whole, then it is definitely a case of "if you are not already interested, then you do not need it".
It is something requested by a few people, with some very specific needs.

Bummer, I finally bought JRiver because I read that it added SOX. And it did but...
...after installing it now, I find it is only the base SOX implementation. That ain't bad for many folks. However, the full range of SOX functions can be of real benefit to many others.
In an earlier post, IOVH and others present the range of settings that I also can tap into when using FB2k. It helps to make the system continuously enjoyable for 15, even 20 hours non-stop. I have never been able to achieve this with JRiver's typical PCM implementation no matter how much I wanted it and neither have friends of mine who I thought I'd surprise with the new SOX feature.
Still, kudos for going the extra mile in adding basic SOX, which will be really good for many. Please consider adding the other SOX options a "relative" priority and, when it happens, I will happily break the news to the rest of the gang.
For now, I'll hold on to Fb2k for PCM ...but use JRiver for easier DSD playback, on which it does have many charms now 8)
