Usually happens when I warm up the system and run the dac volume control at a low level. Any ideas? I am running HQP 3.16.4 and am running my pc to a microRendu to my Vinnie Dac. I am having this too, but with the old OS. It seems to be a problem from HQPlayer, Miska is already investigating it.

Firegog, I just did it, roonready. I am amazed how better it is playing. All the dynamic I lost after swiching from Big7 to Aqua Formula is back much better. Than I chose DoP and the SQ is also amazing. what leads me to believe that for the Formula and mRendu playing PCM direcly is not the best way.

Now, in my system, RoonReady mode is better. but I have to try other configutations with HQplayer and let the dac break in more hours.

My computer is fast enough for HQplayer and the result is exactly what you described. miguelito 1 Audio system: APL Streamer-> APL DSD-MR MK2 DAC -> Audiopax Maggiore L50 Pre and M100 Monoblocks -> Tidal Contriva G2 speakers Link to comment

If I select the +6db gain option in HQ player, I get more Roon-like sound, i.e. more dynamics. On the other hand if I reduce the SDM gain adjustment in Roon (to -3db in my case), I get Roon sound more like HQ player, i.e. more refinement. Perhaps it's a gain issue. The two players now sound very close to one another. Thanks for sharing. I will try this.
