HQPlayer - DSD output is not seen in main window

[mirekti]

Hi all, could someone help me with this, please?

When using Foobar2000 I am able to send DSD to the DAC. Today I downloaded HQPlayer to try it out and I can only see PCM in the main window options as output and can only get PCM upsampling i.e. my DAC shows 384, but no DSD.

In Settings I set Backend to ASIO and Device to foo_dsd_asio.

 

Is there some settings I am missing? Where do I actually set which PCM will be upsampled to which DSD?

 

Thanks!!!

...I figured it out. My upsampling fq was set to high. I can see DSD in the output now.

Cheers!!!

Don't do that, don't mix foobar stuff with HQPlayer. First make sure you don't have foobar running, then set your DAC as the device!

 

Where do I actually set which PCM will be upsampled to which DSD?

 

In HQPlayer main window, from the right-most drop-list select "DSD (SDM)" as output mode to enable DSD upsampling. Then you can select oversampling filter, modulator and output rate from the three other drop-lists. Once you've settled on what you want, you can select those as defaults in HQPlayer Settings-dialog.

 

Here's a short quick-start guide:
