shreekant Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I'am wanting to play music through HQP with NOS1a DAC independantly and not through XXhighend. To get upsampling to 705Hz waht is the setting on the HQP panel. Link to comment

AnotherSpin Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Desktop 4.2.0 works well, not a single problem! The new dark design looked a bit unusual at first, but now, after a few hours of use, the eye adjusted to it. Just out of curiosity, is there a way to switch to the previous light mode? The dark mode volume knob is slightly out of line with the overall design, imho. Account Closed 1 Link to comment

A wonderful add-on.😁 My setup is Apple iPad or Mac Book Pro sending via Airplay/Ethernet the music files to an Airport express (with Optical Audio Out) and connected via a Toslink to a Mac Mini I7 (late 2012 ) with Optical input digital In. Sounds marvelous and a real extension of my music library. Ps. I am able to upsample it to DSD 256 with " regular " NS/ Dither filters and tot DSD 128 with the ASDM5EC or ASDM7E Hi Jussy, REAL TIME Audio is not functioning in release 4.2.0. I am not able to arrange real time audio input as described in Quick Start. In 4.1.1. no problem at all. I have done the same routines as described in earlier post this week. But by far not succeeding doing the same job in 4.2.0. What did you changed? Now again using the old 4.1.1. Ps This real time audio functionality was for me the (main) reason to buy the 4.1.1 this week as upgrade from 3.25.

But as soon as I switch back to normal HD drive resp. Library the connection is not recovered again. Choosing line input etc..... doesn't work. In 4.1.1.

As a possible workaround, backup the settings file through File-menu, then open it in text editor and look for the <input> element in the configuration file. Add there attribute channels="2" So it looks something like <input channels="2" .../> Where "..." is rest of the already existing stuff. Then restore the modified config through File menu again.

Miska Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Note that going to Settings/Preferences dialog and clicking OK will override the modification and it needs to be redone. Next week I'll put out .1 release with all possible fixes for problems found and fixed by that time. Software is growing more and more complex, so making completely bug free release is proving to be very difficult no matter how much I try to test it... rando 1 Signalyst - Developer of HQPlayer Pulse & Fidelity - Software Defined Amplifiers Link to comment
ambre Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Miska, Complety understand the improvement process.😉 Ps. I have changed in two lines/ places the channel = "2" Correct?

I have changed in two lines/ places the channel = "2" Correct? Will restart/tests tomorrow again. <input> element where it needs to go is close to the bottom, but "channel_offset" is a different thing. You need a new attribute called "channels" with value of 2. Offset applies when you have let's say 8 channel input device and you want channels 3 and 4 to be left&right, then you would specify offset 2 (channel index is 0-based). In above case, engine has two channel output, but input could have any other number of channels. Now I suspect the problem is that it doesn't gracefully fall back to 2 channel default when the number is not explicitly defined.

Yviena Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 In my case 4.2.0 is worse in threading behavior, it seems to be mostly stuck to smt threads leading to overload 100% thread usage leading to dropouts. Link to comment
Yviena Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 why does windows suck so much at fundamental things like thread scheduling/io.... just tried out linux 18.04 no dropouts there. Miska 1 Link to comment

Only change to earlier version is to use SMT when there are not enough cores available (cores >= channels * 2), but enough threads instead. In stereo use cases this applies for threaded dual-core CPUs. Based on my testing on an i5 NUC with HyperThreaded dual-core CPU this gave notably better performance with thread usage rather than sticking to non-parallelized code path on two cores. Since quite many people use HQPlayer on such NUCs, especially HQPlayer Embedded, it was quite important improvement. Part of the processing is put on threads in all cases, but that case is designed such way that it doesn't interfere with the main thread (0). And this part is unchanged from earlier versions.

Why does it seem to use SMT threads then if the 3700x is a octacore CPU? I don't really get it tough if I disable core pinning, and manually select 4 cores behaviour should be the same as 4.1.0.1 correct? I wonder if you will have the same problems with 3950x even if it has 16 cores I don't think HQplayer scales with more than 4-5 Link to comment
