I noticed this week at
What'sBestForum that a member there was using JRiver with a VST plugin for equalization. I PM'd him and told him to try the built in equalizer in JRiver. I think the VST plugin was recommended by the acoustician that was helping him because the acoustician probably didn't know JRiver could handle the EQ. It isn't always users that need to know about the product.
When researching a product, I personally like web pages that drill down to more pages that have more detail. Once the detail level stops, there is usually a manual in pdf format that I can download. I then search the manual using keywords to find more features or understand how they are implemented.
To sort of prove my point, I think that list scared the guy. He replied "any level of added operational complexity is a non-starter."
I think he was referring more to having an HTPC in his system and adding a device that is used for playback besides his Blu-ray player. He also said in response to me, "Now system optimizing complexity, that's not really an issue." FOH (Front of House), posts on several other forums I follow and loves complex stuff. As his user name suggests, he used to be involved in live mixing (rock concerts, etc.) and he also worked in mobile control rooms for the NFL and NCAA.
