HQPlayer4 EC modulator tips and techniques

[Holzohr]

I have an i7 8700 (without K or T). With HQPlayer embedded on Euphony DSD256, poly-sinc-ext2 and EC7 is not possible. DSD256 and EC5 works 'sometimes'. Of course HT and Turbo Boost are enabled. Speed is about 4.3 GHz.

With HQPlayer 4 Desktop on Windows Server 2019 in core mode on the same machine DSD256, poly-sinc-ext2 and EC7 is possible. The problem (to me) is the HQPlayer 4 Desktop is a trial version. I have purchased the embedded version.. lol. I still want to give HQPlayer embedded on Audiolinux on the same machine a try before making a decision about purchasing HQPlayer 4 Desktop and remaining with the Windows installation.

Update! With HQPlayer embedded on Audiolinux and also on Jussi's HQPlayer OS the upsampling on DSD256, poly-sinc-ext2 and EC7 is possible. No stutters so far but using a fanless Streacom F8 I better stay with upsampling to DSD128 (and EC7).
