The Sample rate limit is what HQ Player will resample to during playback.ģ. I also set Vol Min Vol = -6bd and Max = -3bd to avoid clipping. I'm up sampling in this example so I picked NS5 for 8X and 16x rates.

The manual says that Dither (none NS named filters) are for word length reduction. The only chance I made here from example 1 above was to set Filter = ploy-sinc-shrt-mp (rock/pop/electronic) and Dither = NS9 (4x rates) under PCM Defaults in Settings. You also need the far right dropdown menu (unnamed) from the main page set to Auto.Ģ. You also need the far right dropdown menu (unnamed) from the main page set to Auto.įor bit perfect playback of DSD you need to check DirectSDM in DSDIFF/DSF settings. I set the Vol Min = 0.0bd and Vol Max = 0.0db in Settings. On a quad-core CPU it is good to enable Pipeline SDM setting in HQPlayer to split the load to more cores, especially if the output rate is DSD256 or higher.įor bit perfect playback of PCM you need Filter = none and Dither = none under PCM Defaults in Settings. I set the Sample rate limit and Bit rate limit to reasonable rates for use later. I have SDM Pack to DoP because most DACs support this format. I selected Buffer = default (recommended unless there's a specific need to modify it). They are set together here, but you can set them independent of each other.

This corresponding to bit perfect playback of PCM and DSD. You can download the version 3.14.0 manual here: Pre requisites - Having read the HQ Player manual. It's based the latest version of the manual provided by the developer of HQ Player Jussi Laako. This guide is intended to be a practical starting point only and covers configuration of settings for bit perfect playback and resampled playback.

Processing is performed by the player application and the processed data is then asynchronously streamed over network to a very lightweight network audio adapter interfacing to the DAC. Network audio is especially useful to give freedom from cables when player is run on a tablet or other wireless device.

Convolution engine supports RIFF (WAV) format FIR impulse responses, which can be produced with suitable software, such as Acourate, Room EQ Wizard or DRC. For digital room correction and other equalization purposes, selectable convolution algorithms are included. Want to buy 192/24 or DXD files for future but currently own only 96/24 capable hardware? Or want to buy DSD128 or DSD256 files but currently own only DSD64 or 192/24 PCM capable hardware? Resampling and dither/noise shaper can be used to playback high resolution files on a lower resolution hardware, allowing future-proof investment on high resolution files. Many AVRs also resample internally to 48, 96 or 192 kHz, with the HQPlayer, these can be fed at the native rate. Higher quality oversampling and delta-sigma modulation can be done by utilizing vast mount of processing power available in modern PCs. All modern DACs employ oversampling and delta-sigma modulation, however the hardware implementations are more or less resource constrained. HQPlayer also features several selectable high quality upsampling and downsampling algorithms as well as selectable dither, noise shaping and modulator algorithms.
