Roon / HQPlayer Integration

[One and a half]

I like the idea of a pretty front end with Roon and using a control point like an ipad or an android tablet, while using a great sound engine with HQPlayer.

 

The problem is that my antique (Gen 4 2012 model) ipad retina won't work with Roon, and only selected android tablets which I also don't own. So apart from the $119/year for Roon, there's also an Ipad air 2 to buy $499 and throw out the old retina ipad which works perfectly fine for everything else.

 

I'll save the $618 for a future computer audio device and continue to enjoy HQPlayer on a VNC basis from the antique retina ipad or MBP.

Somehow I agree with you.

I plan to hack my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10" with a newer unofficial kernel, then report.

 

Good luck with that in all sincerity and hope the tablet doesn't turn into its namesake, to stone.

Priaptor, ted_b: Myself and Zorntel were able to replicate this issue, DSD64 would stop exactly at 12 minutes 40 seconds, and DSD128 at 6 minutes 20 seconds etc. Brian on Roon forum was able to track down the problem (a 32 bit signed integer overflow) and already has a Alpha that fixes the issue. Post #174 has the details.

 

Heh, my cup runneth over with bits....
