I understand this thread is for Requests for MC34, but what features are being released would be nice to know? Perhaps point me in the right direction, to know before upgrading?
One of my feature requests was easy access to AutoEQ which has been granted! JRiver Media Center is integrating this feature, starting with APO, which is the underlying audio processing framework. For context, Equalizer APO , Dolby Access and DTS Headphone:X are other examples of software that utilizes APO effectively.

So, what is APO? It stands for Audio Processing Object, a part of the system effect infrastructure introduced with Windows Vista. This will continue to allow audio software like JRiver Media Center to process sound at a system level, while enabling seamless integration with access to tools like AutoEQ.

For those unfamiliar, AutoEQ is a comprehensive database offering EQ filter settings for over 2,500 headphone models. It primarily references the Harman Target Curve, known for its balanced and natural sound signature, while also supporting custom target audio curves for personalized sound.
