In macOS it is easy to create a bridge between two connections - one ethernet cable to router + other ethernet cable direct to NAA computer. If you do this Miska's NAA is easily recognizable. If you just made direct ethernet connection between HQP server computer and NAA computer (but no router) HQP will not see Miska's NAA. But it can see Euphony NAA right away, or Audiolunux NAA if in AL settings you will assign static IP. I also would like to try direct (no bridge) NAA connection with Miska's NAA because it gives best sound. But, with bridge connection works without problem. Did you try both IPv4 and IPv6?

rando Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Interesting, been awhile since I actively used iOS. Now it's going to bother me exactly how I used to extract and modify links. Or if that would even still work. Glad you were able to figure this out and, I assume, restore the previous functional version. Link to comment
Popular Post sdmarquart Posted July 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2019 3 hours ago, JTS said: Great! When I was setting up my OG Freya, I contacted Schiit Audio to figure out the best way to get most out of the Freya. The engineer there told me that the higher I can get the volume knob up, the better the Freya will perform. You get away from any tube noise, and you use less resistors in the attenuation of the volume. It's worth contacting them to ask them some questions. By the sounds of it, you have everything set up really well. You'll also note that the tubes will relax a bit after 100hrs or so. Thanks JTS for all the info. And to @Miska. I had my eyes on several options to get my digital rig - using RME ADI-2 DAC and Roon/HQPlayer to sound better. I looked at SOTM, MicroRendu, NAA options along with just a straight passive preamp to control volume running DSD direct out of the ADI-2 dac. It was you guys that recommended the Freya. I went all in with the Freya + with one goal. Hoping my digital rig could sound anywhere near as good as my turntable. I won't comment any more after this post since it is an HQPlayer thread but here's my impression. It's absolutely amazing! It exceeds all expectations and quite frankly, I was in awe of this new piece of equipment. It's my first time inserting tubes into the equation. It's exactly what I was missing. Everything came to life running HQP SDM and Direct DSD out through the Freya + in tube mode. First things first. It gave my system new life and OOOOMPH! Suddenly the highs didn't sound harsh but perfectly natural. And the mids and meat of the sound was fantastic. But then came the bottom end. The bass sound was completely refined, punchy and musical. Unbelievable. Earlier the bass was kinda muddy and just blah, but now it had definition and you could really hear the notes. Once again it was musical! Quite frankly, I was in awe. I couldn't stop sampling all my favorite selections. Every one sounded hundreds of times better than before. I mean, nearly night and day. So the goal was to take the digital harshness away and get the music to sound more like my vinyl. To breathe. And the Freya + did exactly that and more. I haven't tried the other modes since tube mode is perfect for my setup. Next I tried vinyl running into the Freya analog RCA input - thus bypassing the ADI-2 which I was running analog to digital converter/optical out into DAC. Now, this sounded truly amazing before. Even using the cheap ADC converter. No contest that it made my system shine which got me on this quest to improve the digital side (HQPlayer). So, running vinyl through the Freya sounded really good. It was missing a little volume as I played around. For giggles, I plugged the vinyl input back into the optical into the ADI-2 DAC. Now we're talking. It sounded much better so whatever the ADI dac is doing completely makes the vinyl shine. It sounded better than before the Freya + and it brightened the sound just a bit which is what it needed. Bass and mid-range are incredible. So, I couldn't put the vinyl down after listening running through the Tube Freya +. Noticeable improvement once again with the bass having true definition and a tightness to it. Just musical and dead on. I'm at work now but plan on listening all weekend. I honestly can't imagine the tubes sounding any better after "breaking in" but I'll take it. I was just amazed at the improvement. A home run and I'm happy to share the story. So, thanks JTS and Miska for making this a somewhat educated decision which completed changed the sound and finally my Focal Solo6 be speakers are singing. It's a beautiful thing. Thanks, Spence DancingSea, JTS and Miska 3 Link to comment

It is still accessible at the backup server at www.signalyst.eu though. But generally that server hosts only latest and latest-1.

I prefer these settings to 512 DSD and older modulators (through T&A DAC8 DSD). I haven't tried ASDM5EC. This runs filters on the GPU and only modulators on CPU. Since the CPU is just quad-core, it is fully busy with the modulators and such. If it stutters occasionally, ASDM5EC is probably just about lighter enough that it may work fine.

That is strange, there are not that much changes in 4.1 compared to 4.0 other than adding new modulators and improving Client's search functionality. GUI library has been updated and some fixes are there, but nothing around the control interface. Signalyst - Developer of HQPlayer Pulse & Fidelity - Software Defined Amplifiers Link to comment

It's a beautiful thing. @sdmarquart Great news! I have found that studio monitors are a particular beast if you're aiming for pleasure listening. Like you, I found that HQP DSD + Freya Tubes put me in that zone. The beauty thing is that if you go passive and pcm into the rme from your interface card you also have the analytical tool to make good decisions, too. I spent the evening listening to my home system Roon>HQP ADSM7EC Closedform 16m>LAN>NAA>stuff>Holo Spring>Heed>Harbeths and, as we say in Canada, effing eff, it's soo involving. It was a great setup before but now, I stopped dinner a few times and annoyed my family with descriptions of how good everything sounded. Back in the studio right now, I'm listening to some stuff with the new ADSM7EC closed form 16m through the RME DSD direct>Freya>Neumanns and I cannot get over how good it all sounds. @Miska I feel like the new modulators elevate everything. The biggest change, for me, is how integrated everything feels; I hear the monitors less, I hear the space of the given piece (constructed or recorded) more, everything sounds simultaneously more integrated and discrete if that makes sense. Where things before could occasionally feel a bit etched before (not often, mind you) - like I was listening to eq choices made by the mixer - I now get a better sense of the bigger picture and a greater sense of detail. Congratulations on making a great thing greater @Miska. effing eff it's good. - J Miska, DancingSea, k6davis and 2 others 2 1 2 Link to comment

It is not clear for me from re-reading your post – did you try direct ethernet cable connection between server computer and NAA endpoint (server -> endpoint) without bridging to router, or there is still bridging of the kind: router -> server -> endpoint ?
