After years of service, my faithful W95 LMS server is no longer functioning and I decided to replace it with a NAS (from qnap). The great advantage of W95 was that I could use Inguz to perform full room EQ. This is clearly not possible on an ARM/UNIX NAS.
Following the clever advice of user Robertopisa on the Synology forum http://forum.synology.com/enu/viewto...?f=131&t=69437 I would like to try using sox to run some simple filters for performing basic room EQ.
I tried to search for his userid here in the Slimdevices forum to ask for further help, without success, so I'm addressing the wider community.
What he does with his ¨trick¨ is to apply the sox filters to flac files only, and I understand he then has only one device connected. What I would need is to apply the sox filters to ALL files of any kind (I use AAC lossy and lossless, flac, mp3, rado streams...) played on one device ONLY (an SB3) without any change applied to anything played on my other devices (several Radios, a Touch plus various SqueezePlayers).
Before starting to mess around with the .conf files, I would be grateful to gather suggestions and advice. Should I use a custom.conf file for example? Does an * work in the .conf files for specifying any file type, in the same way as it does for specifying any device?
(Apologies if I will be slow in replying, Xmas is close and family duties will get most of my time next days)
