Although suboptimal, you can certainly still give it a try Mnyb. Squeezebox will downsample to 88kHz (?96) and assuming you're just using a standard linear filter, you'll still maintain the general "effect". No frequency drop in 20kHz as demonstrated in the frequency response curve on the blog page. That's definitely one variable that had to be controlled. Straight up STEEP filters with no significant frequency response anomaly up to 20kHz except for "nasty" pre-echo ringing with the linear setting and unavoidable phase distortion with minimum setting.
