Asked this a few times and can’t seem to get a answer ? Thanks Why did you delete the previous installation package before you verified that the new version works for you? You can modify the download URL to point to he old version. There are couple of older versions available on the server.

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? Just posted on the Roon forum that next update of Roon will contain a fix for what is an issue at their end. Apparently took them quite a while to figure out what the problem was.

r_g Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Pipeline Setup with DSD-Files (2 Channel). I can play DSD-Files with HQP to an ExaSound E28 DAC without problems. But not with pipeline-setup. For this test a used the following settings in HQP. 1. Scenario DirectSDM is enabled to hold CPU-Load down. SampleType for Output is SDM(DSD). Pipeline Setup is enabled. All Channel-Mappings are at default for test-purposes. SourceChannel 1 maps to MixChannel 1 with 0dB SourceChannel 2 maps to MixChannel 2 with 0dB and so on... result -> No Outputstream on channel 1 and 2. The track is playing in HQP but the DAC only tries to connect to a stream (a short RST in the display) but then reset to 'not playing state'. It seems that there is no real DSD-stream from HQP. 2. Scenario DirectSDM is enabled to hold CPU-Load down. SampleType for Output is PCM. Pipeline Setup is enabled. Following Channel-Mappings. SourceChannel 1 maps to MixChannel 1 with 0dB SourceChannel 2 maps to MixChannel 2 with 0dB ... SourceChannel 6 maps to MixChannel 6 with 0dB SourceChannel 1 maps to MixChannel 7 with 0dB SourceChannel 2 maps to MixChannel 8 with 0dB result -> OutputStream on channel 1 and 2. No Outputstream on channel 7 and 8. If I play PCM-Files I can map SourceChannels in the pipeline-setup to different MixChannels and it is working without problems. Perhaps anyone can test if pipeline-setup is working with DSD-Files on your own system? Or am I doing something wrong ? Link to comment

But, as we see from an yesterday posts not everyone follows the same habit, and for them it may represent a rather annoying problem. Which may be avoided easily if official site would have some support archive. But, of course, it is developer decision. Link to comment

ted_b Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 So what is the current conventional wisdom for HQP desktop: install 3.18 or let it get de-bugged and stay on 3.17 for now (talking Windows 10 in my case)?

Bob Stern Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 8 hours ago, jimdukey said: What does Convolution do in 2 CH Stereo? I use it to load EQ filters for overly bright recordings. I created a collection of different EQ filter files (impulse responses) so I can apply different EQ to different recordings. In most cases it is a parametric EQ dip at around 4 KHz, but I have filter files for different center frequencies, and I also have filter files for a high frequency rolloff instead of a dip.

tboooe Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Hi guys...I just completed a new build to replace my old i7-3700s cpu with an i7-6700 because I was having issues converting high res to DSD512. Everything is working great. However, I have a question about Turbo mode and cpu utilization. With the 3700s CPU I would be at around 80% utilization at Turbo mode freq of 3.90ghz. I noticed with the 6700 cpu, no matter what I do, I cant get it to go into Turbo mode even when using non -2s filter. The max freq I get is 3.4ghz, even when cpu utilization is above 80%. Curious if others using this CPU or similar experience the same? And yes, Turbo mode is enabled in bios. 12TB NAS >> i7-6700 Server/Control PC >> i3-5015u NAA >> Singxer SU-1 DDC (modded) >> Holo Spring L3 DAC >> Accustic Arts Power 1 int amp >> Sonus Faber Guaneri Evolution speakers + REL T/5i sub (x2) Other components: UpTone Audio LPS1.2/IsoRegen, Fiber Switch and FMC, Windows Server 2016 OS, Audiophile Optimizer 3.0, Fidelizer Pro 6, HQ Player, Roonserver, PS Audio P3 AC regenerator, HDPlex 400W ATX & 200W Linear PSU, Light Harmonic Lightspeed Split USB cable, Synergistic Research Tungsten AC power cords, Tara Labs The One speaker cables, Tara Labs The Two Extended with HFX Station IC, Oyaide R1 outlets, Stillpoints Ultra Mini footers, Hi-Fi Tuning fuses, Vicoustic/RealTraps/GIK room treatments Link to comment

I see in cpu-z that my multiplier range is 8-40 so the cpu should hit Turbo. I just tried running Prime95 on 1 core and even when that core is pegged at 100% utilization, the freq never goes above 3.4ghz. Something must not be set right in my Bios. Maybe because I have all the C states enabled? 12TB NAS >> i7-6700 Server/Control PC >> i3-5015u NAA >> Singxer SU-1 DDC (modded) >> Holo Spring L3 DAC >> Accustic Arts Power 1 int amp >> Sonus Faber Guaneri Evolution speakers + REL T/5i sub (x2) Other components: UpTone Audio LPS1.2/IsoRegen, Fiber Switch and FMC, Windows Server 2016 OS, Audiophile Optimizer 3.0, Fidelizer Pro 6, HQ Player, Roonserver, PS Audio P3 AC regenerator, HDPlex 400W ATX & 200W Linear PSU, Light Harmonic Lightspeed Split USB cable, Synergistic Research Tungsten AC power cords, Tara Labs The One speaker cables, Tara Labs The Two Extended with HFX Station IC, Oyaide R1 outlets, Stillpoints Ultra Mini footers, Hi-Fi Tuning fuses, Vicoustic/RealTraps/GIK room treatments Link to comment
