I try it now after reading all the topic pages to get the proper settings.
Yes the buffer cannot be chosen for me 2. So many dropouts for me. Difficult to say if HQP is a better one than Audirvana with these conditions.

You need to increase the buffer time in the HQPlayer to avoid dropouts. 100 ms buffer time worked for me.

it did not work as BUFFER part remains in grey. No modification allowed in the trial soft
so it is useless

Sorry to hear that. Don't know why that option is disabled for you... Perhaps Jussi Laako from Signalyst could help you on this matter.
Today I did some comparison between Roon+AIR and Roon+HQPlayer+AIR. Oh man, it sounds so much better with HQPlayer. It sounds so natural, relaxed and real with it.
I actually hoped a bit that there wouldn't be any difference between Roon and HQPlayer anymore, but that's not the case. The HQPlayer is still clearly better in my system.

I tried another method with a link to download. Same issue
And with the trial you cannot connect either HQP with Roon as explained here

I wish I could hear it - I guess my ears/setup just isn't up to it but try as I might I can barely detect any improvement/change with upsampling - HQPlayer or Roon.
I had been running Roon at max pcm and max x2 for a couple weeks each and thought there was a slight edge but having disabled it I just couldn't say I'm missing anything. I felt the same when i tried HQPlayer - although not tried it since the pro upgrade.
To be honest I'm really enjoying the simplification of the setup with AIR. it's been so long I thought it would never happen. Now I've got it I'm kind of glad I'm off the 'chasing a bit of extra SQ road'.

That's good for you. I wish I wouldn't hear any difference but I have tried it many times and every time I have preferred upsampling to 24/192 in HQPlayer.
Please enjoy from your setup. I really like sound of the PMCs
What filter and noiseshape have you settled on in HQPlayer?
Do you always run 192kHz or do you use a filter that only run multiples of the frequency? 44.1 -> 176.4 or 48 -> 192
I run PCM Poly-Sinc-Ext and NS9 right now.
