Would members care to share their HQPlayer settings here?

Also details of how you are running HQPlayer: hardware, integration with Roon etc.

Everything works with Roon and Air through HQ Player just this sound, silence, sound, silence is bloody anoying.....

Did you try setting a buffer time in the HQPlayer, like 100 ms for example? That solved a similar problem in my environment. I hope it works for you, too.

No that I have missed, will try that when I get home from work.

Edit: 100ms did the trick, no more pauses in the sound no I can try HQ Player

That's good to hear  What's your initial impression of the sound quality?

Well I did not do that much listening as one of my little boys got sick so most of the evening was spent cleaning up womit 

But I feel that DSD 64 is a bit softer perhaps a little bit more relaxed not in a bad way with my Focals. I need to try more but HQ Player seems to be the "shit" when it comes to upsampling.

PCM upsampling: 192 khz, poly-sinc-ext, NS9

poly-sinc-ext only does 2x upsampling, FWIW.

Warm, full and ever so slightly takes the edge off things. Pretty enjoyable to listen to. Just shutdown Roonbridge and replaced with HQPlayer in network mode.

DrTone, are you sure about poly-sinc-ext only doing 2x upsampling? It's the one I use, and I can upsample from 44.1 to 176. Most surely you mean it does power of 2 upsampling, but I did check with the Dev and it says 176 or 192 depending on original feed.

Thanks!
