After wiping a backup drive, I decided to only use /dev/disk/{by-id,by-label}/ now, it is longer, but much less error prone.

As @holland@lemmy.ml said I shouldn't have set default.clock.rate.
I have 96000 and 192000 in allowed-rates beacause some of my flac are at this sample rate and it avoid resampling them and losing quality (or using CPU in this case because at resample.quality 10 it should not be hearable)
Former gentoo user here. Compiling everything yourself does not magically improve performance. You have to use keep track of USEFLAGS, ideally cherry picking for some package because some can cause bugs or performance regressions.
It can be really time consuming both compiling gentoo and trying different configurations. (But you'll learn a lot of compilation/ build system knowledge along the way)
My advise is that if you have time and want to experiment and learn, sure go with gentoo. If not and performance is absolutely critical then go with Clear Linux, otherwise take your popular distro of choice, package availability and ease of use are more important than a couple of % in performance improvement IMHO.
By default audio is often configured to run properly on the crappiest sound card and CPU. Since you used easyeffect I assume you use pipeWire. Here some of my config : In pipewire.conf :
default.clock.rate = 96000
default.clock.allowed-rates = [ 44100 48000 96000 192000 ]
In pipewire-pulse.conf
stream.properties = {
resample.quality = 10
}
Great work, hopefully Mutter & other compositors will pick this up quickly
