I need to be able to playback through a couple of plugins - a parametic EQ as well as either an IR loader or a .sofa file plugin (Sparta Binauralizer). I'll be using a .sofa file created by Genelec's Aural ID service.
I would like to avoid resampling - my collection is half 44/16 and half 96/24. I would also like to avoid having to manually change the system sample rate whenever I select an album with a different rate.
I know I could use something like Carla to load plugins, but what would be the easiest way to handle sample rate changes for the whole system?
If there isn't a convenient way, is there a media player that would let me use the Sox resampler?
Maybe the easiest would be to upsample my 44/16 collection?
I'm trying to make this as simple to use as possible. This is for listening sessions in a dark room with a glass of whiskey!

Would love to hear everyone's thoughts and suggestions.
