hykhleif Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 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 Link to comment

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. thanks i added dither tpdf and that nailed it when using ur settings Link to comment

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 Link to comment

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 Link to comment

I tried a very low setting and got no sound at all. So what's the deal? i am asking bout minimum volume not max volume Link to comment
hykhleif Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 greetings 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 Link to comment
