Lukasluis Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Hi, When I try to add music files to play, I'm getting the message "Playlist contains tracks on a local drive that cannot be sent to rem..." I'm connected to a local HQPlayer connected to a NAA endpoint (SOTM sms-200). I don't have any issue when using HQPlayer on its own. Link to comment
dean70 Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 1.0.4.3 released which fixes Playlists with tracks on a local drive erroneously shows message "Playlist contains tracks on a local drive..." DAC Modes would not allow saving of DSD modes Alchemy Desktop http://www.origen.net.au/Alchemy/ Link to comment
Lukasluis Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Hi, I upsample all my music to DSD and it works flawlessly in HQPlayer. I can't seem to get it working with Alchemy. Is there a guide which I could follow? Thanks. Link to comment

Hi, I managed to again see the root directories by adding 2nd Music drive instead of selecting its root folder and adding it to the directory. However I can't seem to make the default Output to SDM(DSD). It always chooses Auto and I can't pull down the arrow. Link to comment
dean70 Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 Adding each of your music drives/shares in Library setup will show all the folders combined. Is HQPlayer running on the same PC? There is a getting started guide in the start menu under the Alchemy folder. Check that you are running the latest version 1.0.4.3 Alchemy Desktop http://www.origen.net.au/Alchemy/ Link to comment

I could not seem to pull down the arrow that shows "PCM Default Default Auto". I would like to default it to DSD instead of Auto. How can this be done? Link to comment

dean70 Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 I have noticed you have this issue This would be related to the filter dropdown not working. This occurs when HQPlayer returns no filter data for a given format. Alchemy Desktop http://www.origen.net.au/Alchemy/ Link to comment

This occurs when HQPlayer returns no filter data for a given format. If output mode is "Auto", then filter and shaper data are empty with just "Default". Because the filter and shaper lists are different for PCM and SDM, and in Auto mode HQPlayer can be switching between PCM and SDM output modes on the fly. Lists are returned only if you select either PCM or SDM output mode. Only DAC where "Auto" output mode is sensible in first place is Holo Audio Spring DAC, and to some limited extent T+A DAC8 DSD. Because these have two different DACs in one box. Signalyst - Developer of HQPlayer Pulse & Fidelity - Software Defined Amplifiers Link to comment

Also, I can't seem to add the selection/combination after I press the "+" button. To test I tried to select "Acapella" in the 2nd column but it seems that it can't add. Link to comment

Now you can see the filters on left-most drop-list and HQPlayer will also send out the same list when asked. You can try with "hqp-control localhost --get-filters" Signalyst - Developer of HQPlayer Pulse & Fidelity - Software Defined Amplifiers Link to comment
