What are you favorite filters while upsampling to DSD256?.

Do I still need to reduce the volume in the ADI-2 DAC by 3dB?

Headroom management for DSD256 upsampling: Currently, my HQP max volume is set to -3dB.

Is there a list of commercially available NAA devices?.

Would a NAA connected via USB to my DAC (RME ADI-2 DAC FS) sound better than my laptop (running HQP) connected via USB to my DAC? Or is using the NAA just a convenience issue?.

So, Signalyst just got a new customer! I shall promote the Roon / HQP combo to my fellow members in some popular social media audiophile groups that I am in. When I compare sound from Roon (upsampled to DSD256) vs HQP (upsampled to DSD256), it is a big difference with HQP being better.Ĭurrently using a 7 year old laptop - can upsample to DSD256 with it (well, atleast with some filters). I have a fairly resolving system (especially the speakers). Thanks jussi_laako! Your advice helped - I got it up and running. I’m fairly confident that with my rookie level expertise, I won’t be able to configure HQPlayer to work properly with my existing Roon NUC, upsampling to DSD256 with the right filters in 30 min. However, apparently, it only comes with a 30 minute trial. I’d love to try the HQPlayer, especially given that my aim is to ‘upsample’ music to DSD256. Is that because we don’t want RME to change incoming DSD256 DoP to DSD256? In other words, what are explicitly the advantages of native DSD over DSD DoP with regards to the Adi-2 DAC FS? You mentioned that I should set RME ADI-2 DAC FS to accept Native DSD (&, presumably, send native DSD256 from Roon). Using Roon, I am currently sending DSD256 DoP as a trial.

However, I’d need documentation on how to do that (currently, that NUC is optimized to run Roon ROCK only). If it works, I’d love to try using HQP and Roon on that NUC I mentioned.

I shall probably get a used NAA as I do not want to connect my home-office PC (running HQP) directly to my DAC via USB. If so, can I do away with the ‘expensive’ Auralic Aries? If so, what are my options given my DAC? Is the use of an NAA preferred (over connecting this new NUC (that has HQP) via USB to the RME ADI-2 DAD FS?)? If so, what inexpensive NAA do you recommend?Ī more broader question: do I need Roon if all I want to do is (1) stream from Qobuz, and (2) Use HQP to convert to DSD256 and use HQP’s filters? I am fine with buying another NUC to run HQP and connecting that to the network via Ethernet cable. My existing NUC (NUC8I7BEH1) is probably not powerful enough to run Roon and HQP for the purpose of upsampling to DSD256 and using the popular HQP filters.

I plan on ‘upsampling’ to DSD256 using HQP. I only stream from Qobuz & have no digital music stored. The Auralic Aries is connected to network via WiFi as that is Auralic’s preferred method. The P6 is also connected to twin powered subs.Ĭurrently, I use the Auralic Aries streamer as it is a Roon Ready endpoint. Qobuz on NUC8I7BEH1 running Roon ROCK → ethernet cable connected to router → WiFi → Auralic Aries (Femto) → connected by USB cable to RME ADI-2 FS DAC → Parasound P6 Preamp → Parasound A21 power amp → Focal Electra 1038Be speakers. I tried reading material online for a few hours but got confused (probably not reading the right material). I need help in the initial planning stages of attempting to integrate HQPlayer in my digital stream.
