It doesn’t! :sweat_smile:

But what also matters for the sonic character, are things like shape and steepness of the roll-off.

If you are happy with your filter design, by all means use it! :slight_smile:

Wasn’t it about Roon’s linear phase and fast rolloff? Compared with HQPlayer?

Now it’s about your filter?

Looking forward to you popping up in a couple months yet again, to criticise the need for HQPlayer.

Which is absolutely fine. It’s always a great chuckle every couple of months !

A while ago I compared using convolution for room correction in Roon with using the same convolution in HQPlayer, and in that case HQPlayer sounds better but also has a longer latency.

Thanks for the info. Did not expect differences there too. So, will have to learn more about convolution and matrix of HQP
