Upsampling in Roon 1.3

[petrik]

The soft crack or pop between songs when you play DSD is on all inputs not just AIR or so it was when I tried USB and AES. I think it is when the MAT switches from PCM to DSD and this happens between every song even if it is two DSD songs so it seems to me.

I know there are some discusion on Roon forum regarding the quality of the up-sampling and that HQ Player is better at upsampling than Roon. I think Roon will come with more options in the up-sampling section but if they will be as good as HQ Player time will tell.

Do yoy feel that HQ Player is doing a better up-sampling than Devialet?

What filters and sample-rate do you use with your HQ Player Devialet setup?

I am curious to test HQ player in my setup

Edit: I installed HQ Player to try it is it right that the test version does mute the sound some second and then play again? Little bit hard to test it when it does like this, I dont feel like paying 150€ without a proper test period

Thanks a lot for explaining a reason for the soft crack/pop sound between songs. Nice to learn new things! 
Initially I also got some dropouts/muted sound but I got it solved by defining a buffer time of 100 ms in the HQPlayer.

Currently I'm using following settings when upsampling to 192khz:
- Filter: Poly-sinc-shrt-mp
- Dither: NS9

I have no idea whether there is a better sounding setting available but this already sounds quite nice. Fast and clear with a great bass definition. Perhaps the most obvious difference there is in the bass definition. I would be happy to hear whether you could find something better. Of course the differences are not huge or dramatic, but hey, this software only costs 150 euros. I have spent a lot more on cables and tweaks... 

With DSD64 I have tried following settings but I didn't do any critical listening with these yet.
- Oversampling: Poly-sinc-shrt-mp and Poly-sinc-shrt-mp-2s
- Modulator: ASDM7 and DSD7
