bobfa Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 Anyone know Euphony can format a new drive installed into the machine. I am putting a 4tb drive into my server and I think I have to format it before I install it. My Audio Systems Link to comment

Click on the "..." on the far right on the drive you want to format. AudioDoctor 1 Link to comment

Actually, it's the opposite for the basic filters that come with most apps. Unnecessary upsampling will only make the sound worse, and the further you get from the source frequency the more error you introduce. The computationally heavy algorithms implemented in HQP and Mscaler are incredibly complex and are of a different nature. They don't only increase the sample rate, but attempt to reconstruct the original waveform. So, in their case the more samples you can give it the more accurate they become. Unfortunately, the readily available sampling filters (e.g., SoX) are not free/cheap ways to mimic the results of HQP/MSc. It's not their purpose/design. You want to use them only for simple corrections: 48KHz to 44.1KHz. That makes perfect sense. Thanks Edwardsean! Link to comment
davide256 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 It really does suck that Euphony updates change the hardware signature for HQPlayer embedded. Waiting now to get an updated license key, backing out of the update didn't take me back to the prior signature. Wish the two would work together to correct this... a software update shouldn't change a hardware signature (probable HQPlayer coding weakness) and reverting to prior Euphony version should restore prior state completely (probable Euphony backout defect). At this point I'm going to start doing a backup OS disk image once I have the updated HQPlayer key since Euphony revert doesn't do a clean back out, that way I can minimize HQPlayer use interruptions.

I had a similar experience 2 weeks ago. The end result was that I had Euphony installed initially while disabling Wifi/Bluetooth on my motherboard, and I bought HQPLaye embedded licence with this configuration. I then reset the BIOS to default, and forgot to turn off Wifi/Bluetooth. With this minor differences, HQPlayer will treat them as different hardware with different IDs. I reverted to turning off Wifi/Bluetooth, then everything was back normal again. This may be one scenario for you to consider?

davide256 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Any suggestions on how to back up/restore Euphony optane boot drive? Waiting for an M.2 NVME drive to arrive that I want to swap in and clone the image to. I do have a PC with an unused M.2 slot, could try cloning the Optane disk to an SSD then clone/expand it back when the NVME drive arrives. Not sure if my cloning software will work with an M.2 slot though. Regards, Dave Audio system Link to comment
bobfa Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 Dave, You should be able to just install the M.2 in your server and then from the Euphony menu install the OS directly onto the M.2. I have done that multiple times. I do not have my server running right now so I cannot grab a screenshot... You can pull down the Euphony manual to see how to do this. bob My Audio Systems Link to comment

bos3812 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I've a question for those who run Euphony in combination with Roon and Tidal. Has any of you playing music with one of the Roon possibilities (core, hqplayer, StylusEP, squeezelite) and got the error "this track is not currently available in Tidal"? This error is a very common topic on the Roon forums and a problem which is never fixed. I've approached Roon support but they point to Euphony or my network as cause of the error. I tried a lot to get rid of this problem but to no succes. Maybe someone has experience with this problem and can help me. I get this error 10 to 20 times a day when I want to play a song or album. When I play a whole album Roon skips the first song and play's the second song. A second or third attempt is mostly succesfull. It is an annoying error and the only way to play music without this error is play music with Stylus alone. Link to comment
davide256 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 having some difficulties with Euphony & embedded HQPlayer, learned this today when I found fingerprint had changed between requesting and receiving new key Had not been using wifi but while waiting for key, had logged it in. When I removed SSID/PSSWD info in Euphony, get msg “wifi disabled” No change to HQPlayer fingerprint until I disabled HQPlayer, at which point the desired prior fingerprint appeared and license key was accepted So Euphony is disabling wifi if no SSID/psswd is present, which in turn causes change to HQPlayer fingerprint Regards, Dave Audio system Link to comment
bobfa Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 Dave, I have not done what you are talking about. My process, during testing, was to run on USB and then install to the M.2 Optane using the Euphony Software itself after installing the m.2 drive. I never bothered to back it up. The setup is so simple that I never felt the need. My Audio Systems Link to comment
auricgoldfinger Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 My back up consists of a few screenshots. If something fails, I have all the pertinent settings recorded. As @bobfa said, the setup is so simple that don't feel a need to do more. Link to comment

It’s part of my process when setting up a machine with apps to complete the build and save an image for quick recovery Regards, Dave Audio system Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Regarding the Euphony hardware fingerprint. What amount of hardware changes will change the fingerprint necessitating a license update? Same with HQPlayer, as I am now using both of these softwares. No electron left behind. Link to comment
Dev Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 The Euphony hardware fingerprint generation algorithm seemed to have changed couple of times. The last time it changed because I changed the NIC on my server. If the fingerprint changes for whatever reason, Euphony will reassign the license to the new one (just email them) and the old fingerprint will be invalidated. The license is only active for a single fingerprint at a given moment. AudioDoctor 1 Link to comment

It will take you to HQPlayer settings page. Same settings as desktop version. User and password is euphony, euphony I do all my settings here, and ignore euphony HQplayer settings. Once you update settings in HQplayer browser restart audio service and it will update Euphony HQplayer settings. I also update my license on HQplayer settings in browser, not using Euphony page settings AudioDoctor, lwr and WilliamWykeham 1 2 Link to comment
