Hi acatala ,

Are you using NUC HOPe -  Up Gateway USB NAA and Roon?

Do you play PCM --> DSD ?

If do you may need 4.22.1-63 with its DSP algorithm it can drop CPU by 30 % !

 

 

 

Hi @maya,

 

I use Intel NUC 7i7xxx with Debian 10.8, UP Gateway USB NAA, Roon and play PCM to DSD128.

 

hqplayerd 4.22.1 was not working for me, but 4.22.0 and 4.22.2 do. The Intel NUC manages DSD128 upsampling, with poly-sync-xtr-mp-2s filter and ASDM7 modulator, fine. I even own a Raspberry Pi3 + Allo DigiOne transport, that I use from time to time with no DSP at all, it allows me a low latency from UI interaction to music play/pause.

 

I guess @Miska will eventually solve any issue regarding the compiler and we will have the new algorithm in our hqplayerd. He always does.

Thanks for reply.

Jussi's DSP optimization is great.

My Debian 10 build without ROCm libraries can do his Buster 4.22.1-63 HQPe to achieve 30 % drop in  CPU usage, it is a real surprise for me.

So if you are interested hope I can  put it on the cloud for  download.

BTW I only use local audio file as it has better SQ.

Yes, Step 2 of the instructions and that's it. You need to add the repository key, repository and do "apt update" and then you are good to go.

 

No step 3 needed, no need to install rocm-dkms etc ?

Rocm libraries already installed in Ubuntu 20.0 LTS ?

Of course only if you have AMD GPU, then you naturally need the drivers too in order to use it.

They will get pulled in through the dependencies once you have the repository available.

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 hqplayerd : Depends: rocm-libs but it is not going to be installed

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Hi tieuphi2006,

 

I have successfully  installed Focal HQPe 4.2.21 version under Debian 11 after solving all these dependencies including the rocm-libs and rocm-dkms needed in step 3 etc.

After that no issues to upgrade to the latest focal HQPe 4.22-65 and 4.2.22-66. 

Meanwhile the OS became quite large,  its size now is about 8.6G instead of 1.9 G in Debian 11 focal 4.19 HQPe  !

 

Please check my thread on page 138.  It was a painful and confusing process indeed !

 

To me it is always a question what will happen to install focal 4.2.xx HQPe if under Ubuntu distro.

I asked Jussi about this on page 147 please have a look for miska's answer. 

 

Good luck !

Hello @Miska

I am planning to build a HQPlayer Renderer with HQPlayer embedded.

 

I am no linux expert so there seem to be different distributions people use.

 

What linux distro could you recommend for the following rough build specs:

- AMD 5600x

- Gigybyte Board with B550 chipset, tbd

- Wifi connection to network

- 16 Gb Ram (should be enough?)

 

My goal is to have efficient upsampling to DSD256  with ASDM7EC modulator without hickups.

Or do you have a ready to go image that could be used as well?

 

Thanks, Mike

Either Ubuntu Server 20.04 (minimal install, with just SSH Server), or Fedora 33 Minimal (Server installer but installing only minimal system, not full server).

 

Ubuntu if you want something that doesn't change much for longer period of time. Or Fedora if you want bleeding edge latest things.

thanks... just realized that the 5600x does not have integrated GPU.... that will probably push me toward a Intel i5-10600 with  similar thermal rating... unless I use the 5600x as a headless system and remove discrete GPU once the system is running.

I really want to go as minimal as possible. Any insight of Intel 10600 vs 5600x and using headless linux vs not?

Thanks, Mike
