EqualizerAPO works with Foobar only if you choose "DS" output, not WASAPI nor ASIO, which arguably give better sound quality.
Moreover, with APO too you can only use a single bitrate for a convolving impulse, so you would rely on Windows resampler, which is probably worse than SoX in Foobar.

https://community.roonlabs.com/t/my-experiences-with-rock-and-a-500k-tracks-library/27385/10Can you further explain?
Do you mean that Roon is fine if and only if you have a small library... such as only 20K songs?
I would guess most of those collections were put together in pre-streaming days.^ I love it. People have libraries >500K tracks. Suddenly I feel mine is relatively small !!!
It's not how big it is...Suddenly I feel mine is relatively small !!!
So if you have 500K tracks and listen 24/7, you could get thru the library in approx 3 years.^ I love it. People have libraries >500K tracks. Suddenly I feel mine is relatively small !!!
Anyone with a large library have a metric for how many unique tracks they listen to in a year? Some software might track it.So if you have 500K tracks and listen 24/7, you could get thru the library in approx 3 years.![]()

You know you have too many records (cd's or files) when you are slumming through the list and say, "Man... I didn't know I even had that. Maybe I should give it a spin." And then put something else on.Anyone with a large library have a metric for how many unique tracks they listen to in a year? Some software might track it.
The growth of my library has pretty much stalled out. With the world as my oyster since my involvement in streaming, (Spotify currrently claims about 30 million tracks! ) about the only thing I'm purchasing any more are multich discs and the extremely occasional HD remaster of a classic rocker that I just can't live without.May be a bit on the low side. jriver tells me I have 2.29 years. Is there a virtual equivalent of dust? I know for sure there's lots of music in my collection that I will never listen to again, to state nothing of the albums in my list to which I have yet to give a listen.

I have nothing against streaming, and I suppose it is how things will go in the future. But for those who already have a sizable library, is it worth it? Is there added value for someone like that? Not being a crank. Just confronting the question, seriously. Trying to understand the angle.The growth of my library has pretty much stalled out.
