jacquesr Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Help! Have a classic setup with mrendu. When I start an album, nothing happens. Marker stays at 0 sec. Try rebooting, check all that I know.... I know it is just a simple thing somewhere.... Hope someone can light the light in my brain.... HQP doesn't bounce when I play a track.

colorsquid Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I also had the same problem, I ended up removing the HQP as a device and when I re-added it back, instead of accepting 'localhost' as the address I use a hard 127.0.0.1 it's worth a try. Let us know how that plays out. Main 2 channel - Synology NAS, Roon, Allo USBridge + Uptone LPS-1, Schiit Gungnir Gen 5 USB, Schiit Freya, Carver TFM-15 4 channels, Vandersteen 3A SignaturesHeadphone - Schiit Mjolnir 2, Reflektor HG 6922 tubes, Audeze LCD2, HiFiman HE-500, Sennheiser HD650, etc. on the test bench - Ropieee, Pi touchscreen, Teradak DC30 power supply...

firedog Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Okay, got the update. Installed no issues. Good for them. Don't really understand what to do (or if anything) with the EQ, but have tried upsampling to DSD over RAAT to my mR. Initial impression: Roon>HQP DSD upsampling>mR sounds better than doing the DSD upsampling directly through Roon (no HQP). Just seems to have an additional level of clarity using HQP.

Foggie Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 My update went fine, took awhile as it had to re-scan everything - I'm assuming that's by design. I know GUI design can be pretty volatile and opinionated, but one thing that I'm still not crazy about is the massive browsing real-estate needed for certain things. I know its part of the roon experience, I get it, but I wish there was the ability or another "View" in addition to "Overview, Discover" etc.. that one could maybe customize. Meaning if I view by artist I get two rows of four large icons. So in order to scroll/browse through your artists it could take a very long time depending on the size of ones library (inefficient imo). Now maybe there are better ways to accomplish this as I'm still learning this app. My rig Link to comment

No, I guess my description wasn't clear. Has nothing to do with the computer speed at all - I'm running controller on laptop and has no lag browsing/searching etc.. Its the real-estate. I get "eight artists" (two rows of four) across the top due to the huge icon size. Change the size of the icon (smaller or make it sizeable) or even have it list just the name and you would have a significant amount of artists listed/available to view per "scroll/screen". Listing by Tracks isn't the same or what I'm referring to either. My rig Link to comment

stellablues Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I don't find the EQ to be sonically invisible. I hear very obvious distortion and static sounds with vocals and other instruments. i was only trying to pull down a bass node in my room but i heard obvious distortion across the frequency bands beyond the 42hz range I was affecting. I turned EQ off. MacMini (JS-2) > iUSB > Regen > MDAC > Decware Mystery > Ellis 1801 Link to comment

Jud Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I set Roon to use all 8 cores. I want it to finish what it's doing as soon as possible. I guess that depends whether Roon is programmed to use that many cores (edit: efficiently). If not, you could actually be slowing things down.

My fault for not researching that a bit more. I'll try that setting later. ThanksSent from my iPhone using Computer Audiophile With the setting to allow more covers enabled, it only added two more "thumbnails". So I still have only two rows with five thumbnails as opposed to four each row I suspect this is due to the screen size (13.3") and maybe more so resolution (1920x1080). Its still way to large for the browsing part. Once you find an artist and select it, then its fine to go "big", IMO My rig Link to comment

If not, you could actually be slowing things down. Yes, if that's the case, you'll be "Roon" your decision (to give it 8 cores). Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week!
