Trying sinc-L.Get constant drop outs.Cpu showing 29%.Memory showing 61% of 16gb ?

Drop outs with 4.7 not 4.6 with same settings

[Outlaw]

Still drop outs with ASDME7.Does not matter with what filter is used .This is with latest 4.71

I'm just eager to utilize what ever they can offer, for improved sound quality...

 

Too bad they are so slow rolling out faster CPUs.

 

 

There are no changes in 4.7.1 that should have big impact on these things. I changed a few optimizations, but those affect Pro more (to be released some time later).

 

For me, things run the same as before on i7-8086K, i9-9900K(S) and i9-10900K. I have one new machine with the new i9-10850K which is very close to i9-10900K, but cheaper. Will test on that one later (it runs Win 10).

 

I have the 8086K also have not been able to do ASDM7EC since 4.6

For example 8086K is not even very close to limits with poly-sinc-ext2 + ASDM7EC. Core loads for cores 0 and 3 are around 84% during playback.

 

Was able to do poly-sinc-xtr-mp with ASDM7EC but not since 4.7 releases

In BIOS you have loaded "Optimized defaults", selected XMP memory Profile 1 if available, and use stock Windows 10 or Linux without "optimizations"?

 

Yes to all the above.

Using trial version of HQPlayer 4.Can not get to work.When using says access denied to my hard drive were music is stored.Go back to HQPlayer 3 and all works fine ???????????

If you are on Mac it asks you whether you want to permit HQPlayer to access a removable drive. If you don't permit that, it won't have access.

 

On  Windowss

Testing 4.6 works great.4.71 get drop outs with ASDM7EC.4.72 get drop outs now also with ASDM5EC.

My PC has a 8086K CPU.Has drop outs with Sinc-L filters.Have a chance to buy a asus strix 1080 ti at a very good price,Would this solve issue of drop outs ?

[Outlaw]

Possibly yes, at DSD256 the amount of RAM on GPU can become close to being issue though. I don't have any 1080Ti model to test and the amount of RAM needed depends on the GPU model.

 

Video card has 11 gb ram

Yeah, someone needs to test it and report if it works or not. But I think there was such report above...

 

Probably be better off to get the new 3070 when available ?

Depends on price and what you want to do. I still haven't got time to test even on the 3080 I have available. But from future proofing perspective getting something fresh is certainly better.

 

Okay thanks.Is there a CPU that can do all filters up to dsd 256 including sinc-l 

[Outlaw]

Is it my imagination or does HQPlayer on its own sound better then used with Roon.Also don't get pops between songs.

Nope, I tried ipv6 as well, same result.

 

I will connect a monitor and check. What the heck could be causing it not to boot when ropiee works on the exact same hardware, even the same sd card?

 

edit: Could the fact it's a 64GB sd card make a difference? I am using Etcher to put the NAA image on the card.

Never had luck using Etcher.Did you try Rufus ?

Just wanted to check again if anyone running HQPlayer4Desktop 4.90 on Windows 10 with NAA has run into an issue where NAA crashes frequently? In my case, both are running on the same box (SGM Extreme).

 

@Miska I've yet to identify a 100% repeatable failing scenario, but it usually happens after HQP is in a stopped state, and I hit play. I can emai you a log file from HQP, but I don't know if there is a log file in NAA I can enable?

I'm running HQPlayer Embedded Ubuntu constant NAA crashes.

It actually performs equally well compared to the normal build on i7-8086K when tested with HQPlayer Embedded. It just suffers quite a lot on my Xeon W2245 because I had to disable AVX-512 support and bunch of other things too.

still get that message, and i don't use Roon. If i don't set it to DoP does that mean it is outputting DSD directly? I have an Eastern Electric supreme and I thought it only did DoP?

Are you using on windows if so your dac requires a driver ?

@Miska I'm about done with a little video showing the install of HQPe on Ubuntu. However, when I check the status of HQP I see it won't start. Any ideas?

Working now

HQPlayer 4.16 client will  not open.HQPlayer screen appears then disappears.Tried reinstalling still same issue ? It does show it is running in task manager ?

Change from last version that may affect this is the file open dialog hook for the "upload playlist" functionality.

 

Installer installs a new component for this. If there are modifications to Windows, I would look into that. Otherwise, uninstall old HQPlayer version, make sure there's nothing left under "C:\Program Files\Signalyst", reboot computer and then reinstall.

 

Tested on latest Win 10 Pro in stock condition.

 

Windows 10 home.Did as you suggested.Still does not work.

I had the same happen to me yesterday. Do you install the client only, and unselect the server part during the install? If so, please try installing with the server option - that's what helped me to run the .16 client on my Windows PC.

Yes was only trying to install client.Installed complete 4.16 download now client works.Never had this issue before this release
