Outlaw Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Mika what is the Auto Rate Family do ? Link to comment
craighartley Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 OK, I reverted part of the change I suspect causing the problem. Now it is half way between the earlier and the new behavior. I built it as beta7 available at the usual place. Thank you so much. I shouldn't speak too soon but beta 7 seems to have solved ALL my problems, including the DSD256 stutter. It's really remarkable that you've responded so quickly and flexibly to our problems and responses - I can't thank you enough. Craig Link to comment
Miska Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Mika what is the Auto Rate Family do ? When used together with "Auto" setting for the output rate in main window, it picks up sampling rates that are multiples of the source sampling rate, even if filter can do any conversion ratio.

Beta 6 was a mess, but 7 so far is playing pcm and dsd256 perfectly! Great job Jessi!

1markr Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 It works great here as well, when playing an entire album, or a playlist. It fails miserably when I try to change tracks, change albums, or even un-pausing. HQP crashes every time, and needs to be restarted. Once this is fixed, it will be a fabulous combination.....

zorntel Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Agree. Him...interesting. I've tested 13.3b5 linux and 13.3v7 mac outputing to several different NAA linux/DAC combos driving both with Roon build 102 either on the same or different macs...and no problem with any of this. In fact it is the most robust I've seen roon be to date...I wildly switch between albums and tracks...even clicking in the timeline to change track position...HQplayer is tracking every move perfectly. Works with Redbook to DXD in PCM and up to DSD256...both to PCM or DSD. 1markr and Priaptor...should probably describe your system...and what versions of both programs you are using. The one thing I have seen, however, is that I can't get HQplayer to disengage from Roon. Thus clicking on disconnect in roon doesn't eliminate the stream in HQplayer...playback will stop...but the stream remains in the playlist. To get rid of it I have to go to the hqplayer console and hit stop and clear. This doesn't appear to cause any problem...but it is different behavior than before.

Seems incredibly stable for me now. It sounds like you filled up your Roon queue and let it play. What I am talking about is playing a DSD to DSD then changing either to another DSD or PCM track all being converted to poly-sinc-mp/ASDM7/5644800. My RoonServer sits on the same "high end" Win 7 Pro desktop as my 13B5 HQPlayer being streamed to NAA on my CAPS ZUMA running Server 2012 R2 using AO beta10 runing in Core Mode. I am finding NAA closing when switching tracks between PCM-->DSD and vice versa. Will do more testing to see if that is all that is occurring. Link to comment

What about versions...are you using HQplayer 13.3 beta 7 and Roon 1.1 build 102? Just checking to make sure we are on the same page...because before both of these updates I had a lot of trouble too. I also suggest restarting the machine after you do the updates (and throwing salt over your left shoulder :-) Robert Software: Roon/HQplayer; System I: Roon Server/HQplayer DSD 512 Upsampling, Custom Windows 10 PC/AO, LPS-1 powered Startech USB card; LPS-1 powered ISO Regen; Holo Cyan DAC; VPI Scout 2 Turntable, Soundsmith Boheme, TTW Clamps and Carbon Matt; Cary SLP-98P Preamp; Van Alstine FET 600 Poweramp; Aerial Acoustics 6T loudspeakers, SVS SB13 Ultra Subwoofers.

zorntel Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Same here with latest Roon and HQPlayer beta 7. I'm also having occasional problems with HQplayer on linux not responding to Roon on the mac. I'll tell roon to play an album and the timeline will go to track 1, but it just sits there and HQplayer won't start. Disconnecting in roon doesn't help...neither do restarting the programs. The only thing that will work is to restart the linux computer. I've seen this from time to time previously when hqplayer has been on the mac too...although it hasn't happened yet since my latest upgrades. Very infrequent. I'm guessing its some time of memory corruption.

If you can find some simple systematic way to reproduce a problem on HQPlayer or NAA, it would help fixing those... NAA is running on my CAPS ZUMA with Windows Server 2012 R2 in Core mode using AudioPhil's Audio Optimizer. With beta7 of HQPlayer, so far (fingers crossed) I haven't had an issue. I have switched between DSD64, 128 and most PCM all to poly-sinc-mp/ASDM7/DSD5.6448M without issue. I was having issues with Beta5 Link to comment

planner Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Just tried beta7 today. With 'Auto Family' checked, converting DSD to PCM works! I'm so grateful that. However, songs on my playlist couldn't continue after every song. I have to disconnect HQP and press play again. Anyone have such issues on Windows 10? Link to comment
