On Windows and Linux you can find it from the Start-menu in same place where the HQPlayer application shortcut is. On macOS it is straight in the DMG together with the HQPlayer & Client application itself. Thank you, Jussi. "Relax, it's only hi-fi.

Allan F Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Since recently updating HQP from 3.24 to 3.25, upsampling from 16/44 to DSD512 seems to take noticeably longer before playback starts. Has anyone else noticed the same thing? "Relax, it's only hi-fi.

Its filtering does sound quite good (to my ears, anyway) and it wouldn't surprise me if at least some people prefer its sound to that of various HQP filters. It would surprise me if, among all the options that Jussi offers, someone couldn't find an HQP filter that sounded better than Ayre's filtering, especially in view of the low regard that Charles Hansen had for DSD.

Oops. Mea culpa. I didn't look at the date of the post to which I replied as above. I doubt that anything regarding the state of digital filters four years ago would have much, if any, relevance today. "Relax, it's only hi-fi.

And if it still occurs on occasion, as it did on my system with some recordings, go to -4. Setting it with a + value virtually assures that you will run into clipping (volume knob red).

If I wanted to build one specifically for audio using HQ Player what do you guys recommend? I don't know if this is the correct thread for this question but any advice would be appreciated. The last computer I remember building was to play GTA Vice City 😅. That tells you how long ago this was. I would suggest that you do a Search (top right of web page) on "build server HQPlayer". The result will point you to several relevant threads. e.Latte 1 "Relax, it's only hi-fi.

Allan F Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Can one upgrade directly to V5 from V3 without library or other issues? If so, does the discount apply to V3 users who do so?
