HQPlayer4 EC modulator tips and techniques

[jamesg11]

Thanks Ted, for this thread to focus on what clearly seems a major sonic step-up from Miska.

Hopefully, there will be rapid use of the info to enable off-the-shelf players from the likes of small green computer etc - for those of us who don’t tinker much with hardware et al.

Currently SGC offer this - Intel i9 (Coffee Lake) 8-core processor.

Indeed! Wether you use Roon as your front end or not, this is a long link with a lot of good information:

The procedure is valid all the way up to adding the filters to Roon vs HQPlayer. I do prefer Jussi's implementation over that in Roon.  If I were to give one piece of advice about convolution, it would the same as many have stated before: "You can't beat a properly treated room". With that said, convolution, when used in moderation can lead to worthwhile audible improvements.

 

Interested in convolution, thanks for link.

Can you spell out your pc gear for such (or repeat, if already done so).

Anyone achieved dsd256 via EC modulators with the sonicTransporter i9?
