SGC - sonicTransporter Series and Signalyst HQPlayer 4 Embedded

[Kilauea50]

I see 2.6 is up but it is not updating for me.  Is this a purchased upgrade?

[Kilauea50]

I have the i7 and have tried to upgrade 3 times but it stays on 2.5

[Kilauea50]

@Miska @agillisI just upgraded my STi7 to 2.6 without any issue, waited about 20 mins and installed HQP embedded.  It sounds absolutely wonderful.  I have a license for my Mac but how do I purchase and input license for this?  Thank you

HQPlayer Embedded has web management GUI - usually http://ip:8088/ where "ip" is IP address or name of the device). From About-page (see links at the bottom of the said page) you can find hardware fingerprint string; the one that ends with "==". This fingerprint needs to be copy-pasted to the order form.

 

From here you can find a button for going to the web shop, last item on the page.

 

You get similar .xml key file as the Mac version has, from key-page of the web management GUI you can upload this key to the HQPlayer Embedded. Once successfully installed, restart the system.

 

Got it! Thank you!

You can purchase a license direct from Signalyst.

Thanks @agillis I have it playing now and wow is it nice. Thanks for your help

@Miska I have a Mytek Liberty Dac and have stuttering converting to DSD. The server is a STi7. Can you recommend playback settings? I just got this Dac and am still figuring it out. Thank you

Not Miska, but here are some tips:

 

In Roon Settings / Library set both Audio Analysis Speed options to Throttled 

Ok @vortecjr  Will do that now

That seems to coincide with #1 and #3 above. #4 I don't get playback and for # 6 I get resampling? 

When i use #4 all DSD converts to PCM. I have to change Auto to SDM to get DSD. What I want is for all PCM and DSD to playback without conversion but with the upsampling settings I have chosen. How do I do this?

This is a good starting point, you can also try with other -2s filters too:

Excellent!  NO stuttering now.  I also made the changes @vortecjr recommended last night.  Thanks again

I am sorry for my ignorance, but "embedded" means that I will be able to run HQ Player in my sonic transporter without any other computer? That would be great. I am currently using a Mac where I run HQ Player with a sonic transporter using Roon and an ultrarendu.Thanks.

And you will LOVE it

Hi JR, is sonicO 2.6 for the sTi7 official now, or still a 'soft rollout' for now?

 

Andrew posted the how to upgrade on Roon so I feel sure it is official

[Kilauea50]

The combination of HQPe/STi7/Ultrarendu/Roon is the best I have heard. I bought the license after 15 minutes and have not looked back  

[Kilauea50]

HQPe is not upgrading for me on an i7.  I am showing 4.3.1.  During the update I get this:

 

"Skipping packages with broken dependencies:

hqplayerd x86_64 4.4.0-1.fc25 sonicorbiter 1.5m"
