Popular Post MemoryPlayer Posted April 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2020 Piotr Plawner, Pawel Przytocki & Arthur Rubinstein Philharmonic Orchestra playing Emil Młynarski (1870-1935) Violin Concertos Nos. 1 & 2 in 24Bits-96kHz upsampled to DSD256 AMSDM7 512+fs is the most beautiful album that I have heard in 2020. Very nice surprise with gorgeous sound and lovely romantic music from an unknown composer, unknown violin player, unknown orchestra and unknown conductor! https://www.prestomusic.com/classical/products/8718420--mlynarski-violin-concertos Miska and Solstice380 1 1 Link to comment

Delay needs to happen at player side before decoding video from a file or stream. I believe VLC can deal with such. INNA also if you use Mac OS: https://iina.io/ I never more used VLC after try INNA!

Why ASDM5/ASDM5EC and not ASDM7/ASDM7EC Miska? Do you prefer 5 over 7? I like more the sound with ASDM7/ASDM7EC..., but EC is so much for my Apple 2017 MacBook Pro! Link to comment
MemoryPlayer Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Miska, Why after Win 10 v1809 and v1909 versions I can't use anymore DSD512 with ASIO? With previous version, I used DSD512 all the time with -2s filters and NO EC modulators, now even DSD512 files play slowly. Thanks. Link to comment

MemoryPlayer Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Can be the same new version license of the HQPlayer Desktop be used for Mac, Windows and Linus? I'm testing the 4.6.0 trial with Unbutu Studio and the sound is better than Mac and Windows! My DAC goes to DSD512, but with Windows 10 Pro new releases + Asio and Mac OS go only to DSD256! I'm comparing the three versions with Parallels and now I understand why Miska's preference is Linux! Link to comment
MemoryPlayer Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 On 4/26/2019 at 7:54 PM, Miska said: Price is now the same for both HQPlayer Embedded and HQPlayer Desktop. 199 EUR net, while previous version has been running 119 EUR net for years. But now you get all three platforms covered at once. Unfortunately there's just a limit how far single person can stretch and I would love to be able to hire a student to help out on some of the things. That would enable more things to happen at faster pace. Sorry for my previous question Miska... Checking back I saw now we get all three platforms (Mac, Linux and Windows) with only one license!

So HQP Desktop 4 on win10 and HQP 4 Embedded on Linux = 2 licenses. https://www.signalyst.com/webshop.html HQP Desktop 4 and HQP 4 Embedded are two products, so two licenses, however when we buy HQP Desktop 4 it will play for Mac, Windows or Linux, in my case I'm testing with Unbutu Studio recommended by Miska as the best platform for sound quality and I'm agreeing!

MemoryPlayer Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 24 minutes ago, Gavin1977 said: Definately confirmed working in Windows, DAC 8 DSD display confirming DSD512. I downloaded the driver today, so don't know how it compares with older versions. Windows Home 10 (all latest updates installed). Perhaps you're thinking about the DSD 128 limitation under Linux? I was thinking with Windows 10, not Linux... Is that a special custom driver specific for T+A? Does WASAPI/DSD512 sound better than ASIO/DSD512? Link to comment

Are the Chord DAC's so veiled and low transparent ones, for you want compensate with a so forward and bright presentation? Since when are these forward and brighter presentations better for listen to music? I can't listen to more than 10 minutes this way, I stop by fatigue!

MemoryPlayer Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Miska, Version 3 ended with 3.25.6 and entered in maintenance mode more than a year ago. Version 4 is already 4.60, are there plans to a new version 5 with improved GUI? Thx Link to comment

MemoryPlayer Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 6 hours ago, Miska said: Improved in which sense? Can you describe what is missing/wrong from the Client? Better library view..., something like JRiver or Audirvana view! By the way, album view in client is confusing with so many info... No other software player sounds so good as HQPlayer in Mac, Win or Linux, but it deserves a better GUI in my modest point of view. Link to comment

MemoryPlayer Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Miska, Today my MacBook Pro with Catalina began play upsampling up to 705.6k and 768k! I was thinking it was limited up tp DSD256 and 384k, do you know the reason? Thx Link to comment
MemoryPlayer Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 On 8/22/2020 at 5:31 PM, Miska said: Unless you limit it to lower rate in Preferences, or the DAC itself is limited to lower, it should work fine. For example 705.6/768k (and thus DSD256) works fine with RME ADI-2 and Holo Audio Spring 2 on macOS. It also works at 1411.2/1536k PCM with Spring 2, but only up to 16-bit, which is not an issue thanks to noise shapers. Three questions about Holo Audio Spring 2: If it goes to DSD1024 native, why not DSD512 on Mac OS? Did you try NOS mode with DSD1024 tracks converted with HQPlayer Pro? How it sounds OS versus NOS mode? P.S.: Mine is Oppo Sonica DAC PCM 768k and DSD512 (native)! Link to comment
MemoryPlayer Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 28 minutes ago, Miska said: Not much, I've been mostly playing DSD1024 with realtime conversion using lighter modulators than EC. But I prefer to use EC modulators at DSD256 instead. Converting my entire library to DSD1024 with EC modulators is too time consuming effort for me right now. Why not an automatic batch mode? BTW is DSD1024, ASDM7EC & Sinc-L the best combination? Link to comment

MemoryPlayer Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Miska, why the dark mode is available only in Mac OS? Link to comment
