Euphony OS w/Stylus player setup and issues thread

[edwardsean]

Does anyone know have some basic details about of v.4 that they are allowed to share?

 

Is it mostly an advance in features and UI or upgrade in SQ or both?

[fantasia]

Hi Guys

 

As I have found out, the settings for the HQPlayer in the audio settings will disappear!

 

How come?

 

Quite simply because Jussi is constantly tinkering around and the HQPlayer is no longer compatible with Euphony!

 

For this reason it is not supplied with updates that quickly!

 

Because the support always has to adjust this again with considerable effort.

 

In the future, this is probably best configured using a browser.

Most of them are probably already doing this via this route ...

 

Eventeull will have a multilingual user interface at a later date.

I'm already looking forward to it!

 

And probably an internal pdf booklet reader.

 

with audiophile greetings

Hello
Is there any information if the design
of Stylus will be a bit more fashionable and clearer ?
I like the sound of Stylus, but the design
could be a bit better.

Hi

 

Complement I have just learned that an update to ver. 4 will not be free!

 

I am also curious to see what features and improvements there are for the surcharge!

 

Best regards,

fantasia

I think it would make sense for Euphony to remove HQPlayer from the OS entirely and allow to send output from Stylus to an external HQPlayer. If not remove it entirely, then give us the option to use an externally located HQPlayer.

Hi guys

 

Hopefully the HQPlayer will not be removed as I and many others are using it!

 

I think it makes more sense to talk to Jaussi and motivate him to work better together ?!

 

With musical regards

Why? The complete HQPlayer administration interface is accessible under Euphony. Click the HQPlayer icon.

 

It makes more sense to remove the few implausible input fields in Euphony.

[fantasia]

yes, that's right, but this is only possible from the pc and not from the tablet!

 

And only if dr hqplayer is activated!

I have some inside info... This will be an option in v4.
But I don't think HQPlayer will be removed.

Because... It would allow the user to use the most up to date version of HQPlayer, thats optimized for their hardware, and to use a GPU for CUDA or Rocm/AMD as well.

Euphony has no native DSD upsampling so those fields allow one to do so using HQPlayer without leaving the Euphony GUI

And that HQP functionality is greatly expanded when using it outside of Euphony.

Which is why people buy HQPlayer Desktop instead of  HQPlayer embedded?

What kind of functions are they missing in Euphony / HQPlayer?

 

When I open the administration interface of HQPlayer under Euphony (click on the HQPlayer icon!), I get the same GUI as with HQPlayer Embedded.

 

I can set everything that I can do under HQPlayer Embedded. For example the Matrix Pipeline.

[fantasia]

Alternatively, it might make sense to further develop the stylus player and give it an upsampling function!

 

5-10 filter variants would be sufficient for most of the time and the operation would be much clearer than that of the hqplayer!

 

Comparable to daphile (free), which converts pcm audio on to fly to DSD64-512 and vice versa!

The ability to use an Nvidia or AMD GPU to assist with the processing and use better filters at higher rates as well as use a build of HQP that's optimized for your hardware.

Maybe a cpu upgrade will solve your problem?

-> Core i9-12900K "Alder Lake-S and consumes even less energy than a powerful GPU!

HQPlayer Desktop for Windows's GUI seems much more like your typical player than does HQPlayer embedded. At least in a a Foobar2000/DOS heritage kind of way.

Has anyone found a way to have Euphony Stylus server serve music to HQPlayer embedded on a separate server? Can do it with Roon core but haven’t found a way to do it with Stylus. Can do collocated HQP embedded to separate NAA using Stylus but that has longer start of play delay than using Roon core to separate HQP embedded.
