@Miska Hmm i followed the guide of one guy i found for THE PEQ filter in HQplayer according to his screenshot, mine is like this now. 

 

image.png.2acead3c6724a9719a3df0f2796d627a.pngThis is not supposed to create a crossfeed like in the middle only reverb/echo type of sound right?

 

This feeds left channel to both left and right output channel with specified PEQ parameters. If you want stereo cross-feed, you'd create another similar set for right source channel too. There is also undocumented type "ap" which is all-pass filter that could be useful for such use case.

I had mentioned earlier that I was seeing an issue where playback stopped, but only when one track was ending and another was to begin. I was able to isolate it in the log file, in case it's helpful for finding the cause:

To reiterate, this has occurred back to 4.8 so I don't think it has anything to do with the 4.9 issue. The above was on 4.9, and I've also seen it on 4.91.

 

Chain is:

Win 10 PC with Roon Core

feeds Win 10 PC with HQPlayer running on it only

Both currently have their private network Windows Firewalls disabled, to see if that had any impact on this behavior

Running to a Pi4 4Gb running the latest HQP NAA image

 

And again, this is not the end of the world in terms of issues. I generally just have to tell Roon to skip a track or two (mind you it's on random/radio function at this point, I've not had it do this mid-album when I had a queue lined up or anything) and it starts back up without issue.

This is specific to your example

 

iir:type=peak;f=59;g=+1.95;q=1.4,iir:type=peak;f=75;g=3;q=1.4,iir:type=peak;f=98;g=2.85;bw=1.01,iir:type=peak;f=136;g=-1.8;bw=1.01,iir:type=peak;f=241;g=1.65;bw=1.01,iir:type=peak;f=395;g=-1.2;bw=1.01

 

Like Miska said you need to use the bandwidth (bw) values or g (Q) values, I entered random values using the peak function, note there are others.

Thank you very much for taking the time to write all that out as it confirmed that what I was doing was on the right path.  I found my Q values from REW, but when I put that configuration in and tried to play it HQPlayer just sat there for 5 minutes doing nothing -- does it need to build a file that could take that long before first use?

No, it doesn't take any time. When trying to start playback, watch the status bar for any error messages...

Hmm so like this you mean?

Yes, although now you have -6.3 dB gain on left channel and 0 dB gain on right channel.

 

Check out also the plots.

 

Not sure the results are what you expect if everything is the same for each pipeline. Or is there some difference between left and right ear EQ spec?

Headroom adjustment -> set HQPlayer volume to max -3 dBFS as anyway recommended.

 

Regarding parametric EQ, see the other messages around this one. :)

 

Thank you!

In Roon under Headroom Management, should I enable this? If so, what value should I use?

Will dig further in to the parametric EQ. Is there a "default" setting.

Woops just saw that, I forgot to adjust the gain on the 2 last ones, but maybe it would be easier to just use the inbuilt crossfeed instead.
