Note, this should work for most any player, it's not particular to JRiver. ![]() I just got it working, so the jury's out on whether there are any sonic nasties, but I won't be able to do much critical listening until tonight. Voila, I have a JRMC front-end for HQPlayer. Using adaptive output rate, it seems to adapt to whatever rate I'm feeding it, even though I specify the input as audio: default/44100/2. In HQPlayer I simply configure the input in Settings to use WASAPI, listening to the output of the Virtual Cable. I can do any DSP I want in JRMC of course, and I do run a few VST plugins for EQ and such. It's pretty simple - I have a zone in JRMC which uses WASAPI to output to the input of the Virtual Cable. I'm using VB Cable:, but I know there are others. All of a sudden it occurred to me I might be able to use a virtual audio cable to pipe out of JRiver and into HQPlayer, and sure enough it works. Hqplayer and Roon have free trial periods Both can upsample PCM and DSD Try both for free and see what you like Just my 2 cents Enjoy. I'm not sure where exactly this should go - maybe we need a HQPlayer thread.Īnyway, I've been looking at how one can use JRiver as a front-end for HQPlayer and there are some folks using batch files and such janky solutions. But it's like a 5-10% increase in quality and makes the Yggdrasil sound like a more expensive DAC - not just removing something that shouldn't be there, but actually changing the sound for the better. I can't comment on bass as my system doesn't reproduce bass at the moment (waiting on subs). Less body and density - some people might not like this cpasmoi you should use HQPlayer embedded (HQPlayer desktop will not work), Audirvana will see HQPe as UPNP Network device.Less "grain" and a more liquid, organic sound.Top end is a lot more precise, hi-hats and ride cymbals have clearly delineated attacks rather than a fuzzy halo.The difference it makes is really noticeable: jussilaako should weigh in on your question. I have also tried the trial for HQPlayer but am totally confused by all the different setting is it worth the if i cannot do dsd or will it improve SQ separation etc if i just listen to HiRes downloads plus. With Yggrasil A2 I can upsample to at most 176.4kHz (4x). Audirvana 3.5 does sound good on the desktop. HQPlayer has various high sampling and high quality sampling algorithms, as well as noise selection, noise modulation and modulator algorithms. audirvana plus 2.5 vs roon/roon + hqplayer IGNORED audirvana plus 2.5 vs roon/roon + hqplayer. I don't stream so it's incredibly easy to offline upsample entire folders of music. With the talk of HQPlayer I thought I'd give it another go, and the easiest way seemed to be using SOX. I'd tried it before a few years ago using SSRC and it seemed to make the sound worse so I thought no more of it.
