That is the one you need to convert. Its start with "hqplayer3-dw-....". It should be on your hard disk and I hope you made a backup of it. Don't waste your time trying to retrieve the original download link where your purchased as it dies after a month. How curious are you? Link to comment

In your case you are in trouble. Have a talk to Miska, although he does not have to help you. At the ecommerce site there is a service for a yearly fee that allows backup among your options at the moment of purchase. How curious are you? Link to comment
jimdukey Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 There is a "Finger Print" in "About HQ Player." Will that help? Link to comment

jimdukey Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I get stuttering on the first try after launching HQ. I stop it and restart the tune, and it's fine thereafter. That's been going on for a long time, earlier versions too. But it's a very minor problem for me. I'm on Mac/Sierra. Link to comment

The previous 2.26 driver was limited to 8192 samples. I'm not sure when this driver became available. I just discovered it today while reviewing all my current drivers. Ok, so running at low latency 16k samples is sounding best here with dsd512. Anyone else give this a try? Pareto Audio aka nuckleheadaudio Link to comment

firedog Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Running into an odd issue with HQP 3.18 on my Windows 10 server, with Roon sending the signal to HQP. 1. In settings I have a minphaseFIR filter chosen under PCM upsample default settings and a poly synch filter chosen under SDM defaults; 2. In the main playback window I've chosed "auto" for the upsampling; in other words PCM upsamples as PCM, DSD as DSD; 3. The above is working, but all upsampling - whether to PCM or DSD - is being filtered with the minphaseFIR filter, according to the enhanced signal path view provided by Roon. M\ My question is why DSD files aren't being filtered with the poly synch filter I chose? Main listening (small home office): Main setup: Surge protector +>Isol-8 Mini sub Axis Power Strip/Isolation>QuietPC Low Noise Server>Roon (Audiolense DRC)>Stack Audio Link II>Kii Control>Kii Three (on their own electric circuit) >GIK Room Treatments. Secondary Path: Server with Audiolense RC>RPi4 or analog>Cayin iDAC6 MKII (tube mode) (XLR)>Kii Three . Bedroom: SBTouch to Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Setup. Living Room/Kitchen: Ropieee (RPi3b+ with touchscreen) + Schiit Modi3E to a pair of Morel Hogtalare. All absolute statements about audio are false Link to comment

DSD to DSD doesn't use those filters, just modulator choice and FIR, etc choice in DSF settings. So it looks like Roon is simply showing you what HQPLAYER filter was set last?

oilpaint Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I have the latest HQP and the latest ROON but still am getting random stops with 2 seconds left while playing PCM files. This issue has been around a long time - are there any settings that will make the issue go away? Is this a HQP issue or ROON? Link to comment

oilpaint Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Had high hopes when I downloaded 3.18 yesterday but same thing happened today at the end of a Tidal MGA file. Link to comment
Outlaw Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 With release 3.18 can not get xtr filters to work without a popping sound after about 10 secs of playing.Never had issues with previous builds.Where Can I find the download for 3.17 so I can go back to that release ? Link to comment

Did you try going to settings and unchecking Multicore DSP, playing some to see how it goes and then go back and set it again? That did the trick for me. I suspect @Miska has a a little bug where he needs to re-initialize the setting... at least that's what it looks like to a black-box tester ;-) Link to comment
