Article: JPLAY for iOS Is Now Available

[Markus8]

I very much like many users already would very much love/need to use a convolution filter too. But that could go via Roon already if I am right?

@Marcin_gpsIs it possible that i join the trial of JPlay - using a LUMIN U2 Mini with ROON currently, but very much would love to try out various options.

I’m running Minim directly on a QNAP NAS, and using my iPhone via WiFi right now. 

I have also a QNAP NAS (the fanless HS-453DX-8GB with SSDs) and would love to use jplay, but also via ROON as I very much need the convolution filter. 
Is Minim a solution to that intended workflow or how should things be setup to work together?

[Markus8]

I am intending to switch from Roon to Jplay but would need a convolution filter. How can this be done?

[Markus8]

@Marcin_gps Do you think about an integration possibility ?

It already does … I don’t use it and it is a bit  … cryptic but you can ask Simon on his Minimserver forum

In general good news, though „cryptic“ doesn’t sound that inviting 😅

Why not use HQPlayer for the convolution engine capabilities?

How does HQPlayer work together with Minimserver?

[Markus8]

@stefano_mbp Thank you! That sounds quite tricky to do, hope I can do that :) 

So when running Minimserver on a QNAP, does the HQPlayer Embedded run on the QNAP too?

Another question: when more tools /APIs are involved, doesn’t this harm the sound quality?

[Markus8]

@stefano_mbp Thank you for clearing things up. So for a try would it be ok to run Minimserver and HQPlayer Embedded on a Mac Mini M2 ?

And was just reading this, which seems to be really powerful. https://www.signalyst.com/custom.html

It’s impossible, unfortunately HQPlayer Embedded can run only on Linux OS (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora)

Oh ok, so I only got a QNAP and Mac Mini - then it seems there is no possibility of using your suggested setup. 
 

What would solve this is a convolution engine with good usability in Minimserver or am I missing another option? Is @Marcin_gps still around here?

[Markus8]

Thank you @stefano_mbp will read through it. Though as @The Computer Audiophile wrote it was painful and I am sure he is into these things far more than most others. 
Why not integrate a convolution engine into Jplay Femto as an add-on?

If powering off the iOS / Android device does not make a SQ difference, you'd need to look into the other hardware components for internet streaming vs local network streaming as I suggested in another post

Didn’t find that @wklie. Could you please comment with a link to it.

You need to run HQPlayer Embedded that has UPNP compatibility, once installed it can work as a UPNP renderer and can be controlled by a UPNP control point app :

I finally managed to have a setup like this, with Holo Audio Red running HQPlayer Embedded. Though when I try to start a song in Jplay from Qobuz I get the error sending action to streamer. 
Any idea how to fix it?

You're running HQP Embedded on a Holo Red? You used the Pi4 image? How are you outputting to DAC? Have you selected the renderer (HQPEmbedded) in JPLAY?

Yes I downloaded the latest HQPlayer OS image for the Holo Red. Qobuz streaming already works via the HQPlayer iPad app. 
Output to DAC of the Holo Red is via AES/EBU cable.

Exactly, selected the HQPe in Jplay

I am not running Minimserver, I have no local files - just Qobuz connected.
