What do you mean by this, which setting do you change and what do you expect to see at Spring vs what is it displaying?

 

It's most noticeable when changing from PCM to SDM or vice versa. Nothing plays and the display on the Spring keeps showing the format that was in use prior to the change. It also happens at times (not always) when I change sample rates. ie going from 192k to 96k.

HQPlayer will stop if there's an conflicting request or the requested combination of settings is not matching with the DAC capabilities.

You mean that you change rate limit from 192k to 96k in HQPlayer settings and the output rate will still stay at 192k? Or something else?

Now I have nothing working. Screen grab attached – I’m doing a simple upscale. Well within the capabilities of everything in the signal chain. The settings look correct but there’s no output to the DAC. I’m lost here. The fact that the SOtM streamer is being seen by HQP, and that the NAA is activated in the streamer software (Eunhasu) should indicate that everything is seeing everything else. 

 

 

If I disable HQP in the audio settings page in Roon, the streamer appears as Roon Ready and plays fine when selected. When I add HQP into the audio page, and disable the streamer then there’s no output. The blue signal quality light comes on, but nothing else happens.

 

This was all working fine with my previous DAC - but the Holo Spring is more capablele across the board. Shouldn't be the problem.

Try resetting HQP and reconfiguring - I have had situations where the GUI says things look rihgt but something is actually broken underneath.

Try turning off "2wire" in "Output Device Settings". If I enable that, HQPlayer Desktop 4.19.0 crashes on my M1 Mac mini.

In above settings you have all upsampling disabled, you are asking HQPlayer to output 48 kHz without any rate converter and your source is 44.1 kHz. So you are asking something that is not possible...

 

In addition "2wire" aka Dual-AES is not going to work with your DAC since it doesn't expose the needed 4 channels.

Thanks to everyone for responding. I just did a clean install of HQP onto the mac that I'm using as my core and it worked perfectly first up. The DAC is doing what it should and all problems have now disappeared. Whether it was a hardware thing on the Mac I was using it on, or whether I had stuffed it up and it needed a clean install I don't know, but it's working perfectly now. Again, my thanks.

Bonjour

J'utilise Roon/Server avec Hqplayer intégré et j'utilise les paramètres pour suréchantillonner en DSD 256, actuellement les charges que j'utilise sont celles qui me donnent la meilleure musicalité sur mon système

y a-t-il des paramètres qui peuvent améliorer l'expérience d'écoute ?

Dop ?
48K ?
Tampon : 100 ?

I use as dac a Denafrips Pontus II

 

Merci pour votre réponse

@Miska or anyone who knows...

 

I have HQPlayer 4 license that I've used on two of my home PC's without issues.

One has Windows one and has Ubuntu.

 

I've now set up a modest HIFI system at my summer cabin where I have M1 Mac Mini.

Will my original HQP4 license key work with MacOS as long as my home systems are not being used same time ?

Or will MacOS require new license ?

 

I tried to search for an answer as I'm sure I'm not the first one to ask this, but I just cant seem to find the answer...

 

Thanks in advance!

Pontus 2 manages base 48 files
then some personal suggestions on how to configure embedded

[cpasmoi]

Hello

 

and why not 24 bits ? 

 

 

[giordy60]

from the measurements made by Miska the dac Denafrips have a correct linearity around 18-20 bits and not 24 bits

Today for the first time this stuff appeared, someone knows what is that?

With the new update of HQPDCONTROL V4, I lost the ability to change HQplayer’s settings. Anyone experienced the same?

Is there a way with HQPe +NAA configuration to keep bit depth unchanged when PCM up sampling?

I just checked, working fine here. Maybe a restart of your HQP machine and/or the phone is required.

Thank you AudioDoctor,

I rebooted everything including router with no avail. My other embedded works just fine. Have no clues what happened.

What version on HQPe are you running?

4.30.3

Just installed a new Linux partition and wanted to install HQPlayer with the AUR package (as it's an Arch-based distribution). HQPlayer won't download.  Thought I'd mention it in case you want to check anything on your end.

I'll try to simulate this situation and fix it.
