RE: bypassing media player upsampling,

There is no general solution. If you have a flat system in a good room and play good recordings no equalization should be necessary. Otherwise, it is more the person setting the equalizer than anything else.

For best results, settings will have to be adjusted on a record by record basis, and this can take hours of work per album. While this might be appropriate if you were being paid mastering engineer hourly rates, for an audiophile/music lover this is a waste of time, IMO. Just set up the system so that it sounds good on a wide range of recordings and live with the results. Even if you attend live concerts the equalization will change from seat to seat.
