The correction impulses supplied by Thierry are stereo impulses. One for the left channel and one for the right channel. This fits directly into Roon if you transform the config file supplied by Thierry from .txt to .cfg and zip it together with the two stereo impulses into a zipped folder which name is given to Roon.

In case of HQPlayer which does not support stereo correction impulses, one has to split the impulses into mono impulses and feed four mono impulses into HQPlayer.

When you will be there, Thierry or I will explain you how to do this.

The operation of splitting the correction impulses from stereo to mono and conversely to combine two mono impulses into a stereo one can be easily done via a free software called Audacity.

OK, so easiest to use the filters in Roon, better compatibility keeping the filers in Roon (option to use RAAT or Roon AIR, OS Board), and per Thierry's earlier comment, no sound quality penalty keeping the filters in Roon even if Roon then then feeds HQPlayer.  So it looks like using the filters in Roon wins this one.
