    Can you not use both? Pi transport isn't going to alter tonality anything like EQ, but might do other good things.

    no free EQ for most pi os and players, like my VST plugins for jriver, and I really do not need to stream anywhere, local playback is fine. And while I liked Roon when I tried it the $$$ were a big nada.

    Doesn't JRiver either work with RPi or even have its own OS image? And if so, wouldn't VST plugins work on it?

    Yeah that's what holding me back. It is an option to preprocess tracks in JRiver and make a copy with the EQ baked in, but still just a PITA especially if you use the statistics in JRiver.

    @Hands had a good idea, so I looked it up. Here is the answer, "No VST exists that's been compiled for ARM."

    Ah, I guess I didn't know VSTs had to be compiled for different OSes and architectures. I thought they were simpler.

    Nonetheless, I have to imagine there is some sort of solution that would give you the EQ you want.

    I still think the benefits of a Pi2AES or DigiOne Sig are a worthwhile pursuit. They provide specific improvements you can't get through other means.

    well there are solutions, but the only one I know of cost more than I am willing to pay to impelment...Roon. Diminishing returns for me.
