| Qobuz. My Roon friends report they already can sort albums and have filters for hi-res selection. You can sort for Qobuz Hi Res in Audirvana too! | |
| Clementine Media player I haven't tried it recently, but on Mac Clementine was way behind sonically. If you are going to run it via Linux, stay away from PulseAudio and try to use ALSA. If I were you, I'd try HQPlayer and experiment with it's upsampling unless you are ru... | |
