Yviena Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 @Miskaif i may ask is it normal that ext-3 takes 2.5x times the proccesing power when going from either 44.1 to 48khz rates in both PCM, and DSD? Link to comment

It can also co-exist with Windows 10 on the same machine and you can choose which one to boot. Note, on some very newest hardware you'd possibly like to use the "hwe lowlatency" kernel, which has pretty much latest support for new hardware. I'm using it on my Ryzen 7 5800X + B550 machine. Which B550 MB are you using? I need to upgrade my HQPe OS machine and would rather buy something known to work. Or do you recommend something else specifically for HQPe OS? I'm not looking to build a screamer for DSD512 just a good value machine that's more capable than an i7-6770 from yesteryear. Link to comment

Conversion between rate families is heavier due to higher memory bus load. Signalyst - Developer of HQPlayer Pulse & Fidelity - Software Defined Amplifiers Link to comment

Is single-core performance still more important than total number of cores? I use PCM mostly but will certainly try more DSD with the new machine. I'm comparing i5-11600k vs. i7-11700k. Any advantage to more than 16GB ram? Link to comment

So as many cores as possible without cutting clock frequencies. 4 hours ago, lpost said: Any advantage to more than 16GB ram?

Yeah, technically HQPlayer OS 4.24 should work nicely on AMD too, but it has got very little testing on AMD platforms. But reports are of course welcome.

Just to note, I did run HQPeOS on AMD Ryzen 7 1700X with ASRock X370 Professional Gaming for ~2 years and had problems with the license fingerprint changing frequently after a reboot. It was frustrating for both of us. These problems ceased once I moved to an Intel CPU and MB. Other than the license, HQPe functioned fine. Link to comment

ted_b Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I REALLy like gauss long too (I7-6700k) at 32fs 20 bit Holo May. Piano is sublime. I told a couple folks I need to live with it this weekend and jump back to 4.90 and see if there is reason to live back there anymore. "We're all bozos on this bus"....F.T.

I'm running Embedded OS and do encounter occasional/often white noise or garbled sound when initiating low bitrate radio so I've switched back to 4.22.3 just to confirm the same stations play without issue (4.23.0 has the same problem) and it's clearly audible to me that 4.24 (latest) is the best sound. Probably not directly comparable with Desktop though. Link to comment
