@"skel" , most interesting and thank you for providing the details. A novel way to apply convolution to Qobuz (& Tidal) in the UPnP world.
An alternative to try is SqueezeDSP plugin, which is supposed to have convolution. It is on my to do list to experiment.

I was using squeezelite 1.8 for years for its warmth, but squeezelite 2.0 blows it out of the water on my system. It brought focus and tightness to the soundstage. Everything sounds smeared on 1.8 in comparison. I can't wait to get the real time kernel in 1.4. Does anyone have any suggestions for the command line options in the player setup? I use -b. The buffer seems to improve the sound slightly.

Thanks @Snoopy8 Super simple instructions. I'm listening now. I feel like another layer of noise has been wiped away. It's so apparent with low level listening. I don't have to turn it up to get dynamics. Although, I may have traded a little sweetness for more detailed transients.
Update: I had to move my speakers back closer to the wall. Only an inch or two. The sound is super balanced now. It was a little too bright after the update.
