SoX, upsampling filters, MQA, etc.
JimH:
It looks like you already have a lot of choices.
With no disrespect intended, we already have a long list of things we want to do. Many of these are user requests. Some are just our own ideas. SoX improvements aren't on the list. Neither is MQA.
We're fortunate that audiophiles are a very important part of our customer base. But we need to be careful that their seemingly endless appetite for esoteric features doesn't become the tail that wags the dog. JRiver is a high quality digital media software company, not an audiophile software company.
Matias:
I know there are other software choices. I am trying to stay with JRiver, yet you guys are not helping...
Again, SoX has the parameters ready. Foobar Ressampler V uses them and it is free. All I ask is a checkbox which calls the minimum phase slow roll off parameters. Should be really quick to do the coding (I was a developer) as opposed to DAC manufacturers who do it in hardware.
Now is your new support for WavPack DSD less esoteric? Or older features such as DSD input low pass filter choice? Playing files from memory?
I have pointed to several evidences that upsampling filters with minimum phase and slow roll off are all over the audio market. If you refuse to prioritize it this is up to you. I already argued enough about this.
PS: can anyone point me to a 3rd party plugin to import in DSP to do this?

Aren't RoomCorrection, Pitching etc 'esoteric' features? I can't see any sense in your argumentation. I agree there's no need to implement every audio codec on earth and I agree with refusing offering real useless-voodoo settings but I agree with users wan't to 'optimize' the SoX-Resampler to perform best with their equipment...that's as esotheric as RoomCorrection, Equalizing etc., isn't it? Otherwise you must remove the option to use VST-Plugins etc. to keep your 'philosophy`of JRiver as pure.
+1 on offering (some) parameters
