HQ Player


Recommended Posts

greetings

 

there was a discussion that you can achieve great results at head fi using hqplayer and getting close to mscaler with hugo tt2

 

I wonder what are the best settings to dial in that can give me a chance to compare both. I am very unfamiliar with both mscaler and hqplayer so i would really appreciate the best settings to dial in hqplayer using my hugo tt2 via usb

 

I have an asus Zephyrus 501 laptop -- (Intel 6-Core i7-8750H, 24GB RAM

Not many people use chord dacs around here. I do, I use TT2, but don't have mscaler. Here a snapshot of my settings. Surrounded by red line the ones you should set.

Some people also like Sinc-M filter, but poly-sinc-long-lp I read should be the one more similar to mscaler?

For output you can use both WASAPI or ASIO.

It is still needed to get undistorted data to the DAC's DSP. There's no harm doing dither to 32-bit, but there is harm not doing it.

 

yes using dither makes it sounding better on tt2

 

can you tell me the difference between poly sing long lp and sinc m

There is very little in common between the two. Both are apodizing and have steep roll-off.

 

when u say little in common u mean they are very different and can you say what both differ in sound presentation, like is one more warmer sounding than the other

 

also do u recommend to set minimum volume to -20 like in the settings above

I wonder if I can get some advice

 

I only listen to tidal now more than anything 

 

set up

 

chord mojo--- avid integra--- harbth 5shl plus 40th anniversary

 

Avid Integra amp it has no remote control

 

my dac for the time being is chord mojo and i have the chord poly, sometimes i use the poly but most of the time i use the mojo connected by usd to my computer

 

i like to be able to control the volume from my couch without always having to reach out to the amp, and maintain the sound quality.

 

i am now considering roon with hq player to a have good digital volume control, as using the digital volume control of tidal apps i feel the sound quality is not as great as using the volume control on my amp

 

would using hq player with roon be a good move to use them to control volume, if so what settings should i dial in on both roon and hq player, kindly please help, as many suggest that i should buy a preamp and i am not in favor of that to start adding more devices in my set up
