Maybe local access to file produces more noise than network access. Our you simply like more the network access noise influence than the other one. 4 minutes ago, cpcat said: However, HQplayercontrol sounds superior to either of above. You didn't write where are you running HQPlayer Client. Both HQPDcontrol and HQPlayer Client are using the same API. If they would be running on for example computer and tablet using the same kind of network connection then everything needs to be the same since they both are invoking the same API commands. So the difference can come from where you are running HQPlayer Client or in different kind of network connection you are using for Client and HQPDcontrol. If such a difference exists, you can attribute it to noise influence to your HQPlayer Embedded computer (I don't know where you have your DAC connected). People invest into noise isolation solutions, that's the reason ...

I was saying HQplayercontrol/HQPe sounds better than Roon/HQPe. Since i'm not using Roon I don't know how Roon and HQPlayer are connected but I know it i a specific implementation. I expect Roon sending decoded raw PCM or DSD stream to HQPlayer. That's not how Client and HPDcontrol is working. If so, then you have the technical difference. The reason of audible difference is usually different kind of noise profile coming from different use cases.
