Room correction with convolution per sample rate

[digimuse]

I've been comparing the JRiver convolution engine with MinimServer on the Melco. I have tried a variety of sample rates, and many different albums at a given sample rate.

I did not notice any unusual sounds with MinimServer/Melco. To me, the convolution operations on MinimServer/Melco sound slightly better than those on JRiver. MinimServer/Melco has more low-level detail, and more focused imaging. I'm guessing that this is mainly a function of the Melco server vs JRiver on a Mac (hopefully the convolution operations are identical in both systems).

I did find one album that MinimServer/Melco refused to play with convolution. The album is 24/192 version of the following:
Ernest Ansermet - Albeniz: Iberia/ Turina: Danzas Fantasticas

In the verbose logs I got the error:

Quote:Using convolution file /mnt/disk1/share/MinimServer/convolution/Cor1S192.wav for sample rate 192000
Converter program ended unexpectedly with exit value 1

MinimServer/Melco has no problem playing this album without convolution (stream.options and stream.transcode both blank).

JRiver also has no problem playing this album with/without convolution.

Perhaps there is something unusual about this album? I did not have problems with any other 24/192 album that I tried.

Simon - I've sent you a pm with details of the album
