HQ Player

[markjock3]

I just took HQPlayer for a test drive and like it. Wondering if anyone knows. I have 2 Mac Mini's one for headphones and one for speakers. Would I need to purchase 2 HQPlayers or just one?

 

Thanks

My mistake

[markjock3]

Hi, I am running HQ on Mac mini to Buffalo III via 384 Combo Amanero and I am not getting any sound out of it? Any ideas what might be causing this?

[markjock3]

Wondering if I could get some help. I am running Mac Mini into Buffalo III DAC with Amanero usb. Yesterday I was able to setup HQ for DSD output, however it will not work today, I just get a loud hum. I have tried different settings but will not stop humming unless I switch to PCM.

 

I turned the log on. However because I am a Mac newbie I can not find the log file. How do I find it?

 

Thanks

Hello Mark (?)

 

In case I am NOT correct, you may find the log file at ~user/.hqplayer. So open Finder and click on Go in the menu and go to this folder.

 

Best,

Richard

 

Thanks for the reply Richard. I tried but was unable to find such a file. I know in the past I found the user file. I just can't remember how I did it. (guess that's part of old age) :~)

Is the SDM Pack set to DoP under settings?

 

Yes I have DoP in settings. The only change I made was turn the volume up on my preamp. I just went and turned it back down and no trouble. How strange.??

Thanks,

Mark

Hoping someone can help me. I have been listening to music via HQ Player for a couple of months. About 3 days ago I started to get like a static kind of sound coming through. After a bit of detective work I came to find that HQ Player was the part of the problem. I am able to use other music players without this happening. Can anyone tell me what could cause this please?

 

Thanks,

Mark

I found out what was causing this. Under preferences settings "2 wires" was checked. No idea what 2 wires is but it was causing the problem.

Is it possible to add an entire HDD to the library at a time? Also is it possible to add multiple albums at a time? It seems I am only able to add one at a time.

 

Thanks

Thanks Ted, that did it. I thought I had tried that. All is well.

"And yes, I have huge amount of playback hours with iDSD Micro @DSD512 on my Linux workstation where I do almost all development. It has hundreds or not thousands of playback hours. iDSD Micro is connected through fixed level line-out to Fostex HP-A8C headphone amp for listening with Sennheiser HD800 headphones."

 

Could you share more on the Linux? Is it a particular music serving Linux?

Wonder if anyone knows where I could download an older version of HQPlayer. I am running Yosemite on my Mac because Chord does not update drivers for anything past Yosemite on DAC's that they have discontinued. (even though the DAC is only a few years old) Chord Qute EX.

 

Thanks,

Mark

Mark,

 

You can use the following link to change the version number to see if Jussi has older version hosted on his site.

 

https://www3.signalyst.com/bins/HQPlayerDesktop3-mac-3182.dmg - change 3182 to some older version to see if it works.

Thanks Shadowlight, I will give that a try.

If you ask for any particular build someone would send you a file. Some people store old versions just in case.

 

I have some builds from 2014 - 2015

Thank you Anotherspin, I will be sending a PM.

Hi,

Sorry if this has been covered but hoping I could get a quick answer without wading through all there posts.

I have a license for HQPlayer 3, do I need a new license for desktop 4? I have tried registering with my current license and nothing happens.

 

thanks
