I more often tend to use HQ Player, which also offers us Mac users the use of the ASIO driver (rather than the Mac's native Core Audio driver), which allows for even higher sample rates using PCM (24/384) as well as quad DSD sample rates (DSD256) - and I'm not even using the latest version of HQ Player right now. but is anyone running this., posted on at 15:14:13 That capability probably won't matter to me as I.

This is Computer Audio, not Classical.

I guess the self-rightous(see below) exist in. Yes! My bad - you are right, oldmkvi! - Chris from Lafayette 10:05:05 05/22/20
#Hqplayer drivers#
The ASIO Drivers are from Exasound, aren't they? - oldmkvi 08:59:52 05/22/20 I'd rather have compatibility with the ASIO driver! :-( - Chris from Lafayette 00:23:00 05/26/20 Well! It's a good thing I never upgraded then! - Chris from Lafayette 00:43:31 05/25/20

Version 4 of HQ Player dropped support for Mac exaSound ASIO driver - Bob Stern 17:29:29 05/24/20 RE: "Usually the less stuff the computer does, the better off everything is" - Dawnrazor 10:26:32 05/23/20 "Usually the less stuff the computer does, the better off everything is" - Chris from Lafayette 00:51:14 05/22/20 "it sounds like it might be a little more complicated" - Chris from Lafayette 10:21:17 05/22/20 Roon with HQPlayer here - Paul Tobin 06:24:49 05/24/20īoth excellent but I went back to Roon alone - AbeCollins 07:59:37 05/24/20 I'm sure there are other programs as well and would appreciate any feedback others may have regarding this or anything else on the market. However, you never know unless you try! So I will be trying HQPlayer DSD64, mR, USB to the Devialet, but I doubt this will provide an optimum solution simply because I think the USB implementation in the Devialet is inferior to AES/EBU.Audio enhancement on their computer? I find that I actually listen to music more with my headphones at my computer these days and was wondering if this was worth the money. As to what I expect, to be honest my expectations are quite low! In fact, I suspect that I may well end up preferring the sending of good old 'bit perfect' 16/44.1 to the Devialet. From what I have read, the Mutec does a very good job of the DSD to PCM conversion. In this configuration, you would rely on the Mutec to make the DSD -> PCM conversion wouldn't you ? Do you expect better results with this setup than converting to PCM in HQPlayer and feed PCM through the Mutec to the Devialet ?Yes, the Mutec would convert DSD to PCM, the Mutec reclocks, then sends reclocked PCM to the Devialet. I could run DoP128 now, but there have been a number of favourable reports regarding HQPlayer upsampling to DSD256, so I might as well wait until I can try this via the Mutec. Once the Linux issue is fixed I'll try HQPlayer and report back.

#Hqplayer Patch#
However, DSD256 is currently not possible via the mR due to the lack of a Linux patch for the Mutec. This will be PC, Ethernet, microRendu, Mutec, Devialet.

Would be interested if folks with Mutec or other reclockers have found a big improvement with HQ player in the signal chain. I have found the FIR, sinc and Closed form filters work well for classical/jazz.īut having said all that I am leaning towards feeding the system with plain old 16/44.1 - considering Devialet hardware probably has the computing power to perform signal processing well - I wonder if leaving the DSP to the Devialet achieves perhaps balance between detail, sound stage, speed and musicailty. The PCM upsampling (as well as DSD) gives you many choices of filtering and dither which initially is a bit overwhelming (for a non engineer!) but the experimentation is fun and seems to alter space around instruments, soundstage size and the speed of transients. The HQ player DSD64 and 128 upsampling sounds a tad tighter and more articulated than Roon DSP the sound of which is too warm for my tastes. Roon to HQplayer to Mutec USB to Devialet (the roon to HQplayer part btw was quite straightforward to setup) Just started playing around with HQplayer:
