I spent only a few hours with HQ player, but a few factors meant that it just wasn't for me - mainly it doesn't support ALAC and the interface is (IMO) horrible.
I did however convert a small sample of my library to FLAC and experimented with lots of the settings. I honestly couldnt say that I experienced anything remarkable SQ-wise compared to other players, and in fact I couldnt tell much difference between any of the filters etc - so perhaps I didn't do it properly.
If it gets integrated into Roon I may well try again, but all-in-all it just seemed overly complicated to me to listen to music.
