Stable software XO

Sure interface can be improved but I don't see that as progress in the right direction. A player or media center ain't measurements software, I don't mind entering Q 0.71 for Butterwort or calculating and referring to table for bessel filter.

The point you are missing is the software that requires manual data entry of a potentially large number of values is software in which it is easy to make a mistake and which can take an awfully long time to even enter the data which then can discourage experimentation because it takes so long.

see that only as a resource hog and wouldn't like it to become part of JRiver ever nor seeing it rise in hardware requirements to Roon level so that someone like you could say UI is nicer.

It's a silly argument, making a UI more useable does not equate to a rise in hardware requirements.

Anyway this horse is beaten to death. OP asked for opinions about jriver for this use case and can judge for themselves whether usability is important and/or how complex their needs are.

One thing worth noting in this context is that mc34 will support importing filters in eapo text format (which is itself supported by various tools Inc rew) hence making use of other external tools for filter design a little easier.

Appreciate hearing all the options you've tried and your experience - saves me much grief going forward.

Another software option, which I don't see mentioned much is DePhonica. It is old and no longer supported but it works fine on Windows 11. Compared to the other options it is powerful and flexible and very easy to use. The GUI is old school and weird but light years ahead of the other options. For a free download it is worth a look. I use it day in and day out without issue.
