HQPlayer Linux Desktop and HQplayer embedded

[ASRMichael]

Hi looking for some help here. Struggling to get this round my head, even with Jussi’s technical explanation. So here I go....

 

Basically before using convolution in HQP I set gain to -3db, recommended  for DSD. So volume doesn’t hit 0db (I understand this safety part).

Mitch created accurate convolution filter set with around -5db, add HQP -3db is this now -8db?? Presume so

 

If HQP was set to +2db, then you filter is -5db. This should give -3db, which is what I started with in the first place? 
 

The reason I’m trying to add more gain/volume back in is, because my amp sound best at certain level of volume. I now need to add an additional 8db to volume to level match previous volume. To achieve this my amp needs to add gain, which is not advised for SQ. 

 

So any gain/volume increase I can add upstream will help. 
 

To my knowledge there is no volume limiter visual on HQP Embedded version. So hard to tell if it’s safe to do or not?

 

Any help much appreciated

What exactly is adaptive volume doing? Pro’s & Con’s?

Try setting buffer to 100ms.

Why not try 3.8hz, it will tell you if needs bit more cpu power. 
 

I was able to run my i9900k at 4.0ghz with 5a PSU.
