I can recommend the additional software mentioned in my signature jPlay/Process Lasso/ Fidelizer Pro if you have coins left. I think it would payout for SQ (did it for me). I can provide parameters for configuration to start from if you need some.
Edit: Just saw your posts on jPlay forum. You possible spend more time on the whole thing than any other in the forum. But what is your conclusion about combining all this software for SQ?

Hi Gui,
Haha, the seed for removing the WiFi board is nearing the stage it can be 'harvested'. I have it planned but am/was still changing too much on the source side of things. I was thinking I might do it this weekend. I try to not change too many things at the same time but since the feedback on your tweak is unanimously positive I may do it and accept it as an improvement whether I can judge its effectiveness or not. So not made up my mind yet as to the when but to be continued.
As you've read I have indeed used JPlay for quite some time. I stopped using it when I got my microRendu (which I recently replaced with a SOTM SMS-200) and started using Roon with it. We were all told by Chris from computeraudiophile.com that the upstream computer or even the network cabling did no longer matter when using the microRendu. It's now clear he was wrong as the "Romaz tweak" has proven. I was also able to "confirm" the findings of others that the ethernet cabling still matters in this setup. So now I'm in the process of finding out myself how much the upstream computer and it's configuration matters and that's why I'm revisiting the AO setup etc.
JPlay always gave me a nice improvement over JRiver alone. I felt the same was true for Phil's Audiophile Optimizer and Server 2012 R2. In that setup I always questioned the real effectiveness of Process Lasso and Fidelizer. There's a big functionality overlap in all of these but also all do something the others don't. I feel that Process Lasso does nothing 'out of the box' in a well tuned system but it can be helpful when one wants to automate the process running/assigning the different software running on specific CPU cores (CPU affinity) and setting their priority (real time, high, normal, low etc.).
Fidelizer also does some (non customizable) priority changes and steering of non playback processes to specific cores and it optimizes the MMCSS (multimedia class scheduler) settings.
I do still own a lifetime license for JPlay and one for the 6 version of Fidelizer Pro but it would need an update to 7. I already upgraded my 1.40 AO license to 2.x recently but don't think I will do so for Fidelizer as I don't think it's very effective in my current setup of a music server feeding a network attached renderer. It doesn't even properly set process priorities for Roon so I do that manually now and the MMCSS settings don't matter in my setup since I don't use the Windows Audio service (it's disabled).
