    Cool Hqplayer Pro configuration with Roon Server

    Here is my hardware configuration

    The Audio Server is in a Streacom Alpha 9 Silver case based on a set of distributed heatpipes for the CPU

    - CM MSI MAG B460M Bazooka
    - CPU INTEL 10500 T low power
    - 16 GB of DDR4 Fury Black 2666

    - 3 SSD of 4.5 TO San Disk ULTRA 3 D where is stored the music in DSD and Flac HI RES files
    - 1 SSD NVME WD Black 850EVO of 500 GO where is stored Windows Server 2019 Optimized Audiophile Optimizer3 + Fidélizer Pro and process lasso pending to be set up
    ,
    - the converter DC-ATX HDPLEX 400W Hi-Fi was also lodged under the hard disks and stuck also with double face

    I integrated 2 PCI cards

    - a JCAT NET FEMTO card
    - a PINK FAUN USB card

    the 2 cards are powered by a linear power supply (2 *5V and 1 in 12 Volt for the Switch CISCO Meraki with Clock OCXO

    the internal cabling was made by the ModDIY site
    - CM, CPU, SSD and HDPLEX converter.





    I'm going to use Roon as a music library manager and HQplayer as a player

    I have defined the player in roon, but it doesn't work.

    I started to install HQplayer Pro 4, but I can't set it up properly, when I set HQ player in Roon instead of USB Dac DENAFRIPS, it doesn't work.

    I think that the processor will not be able to go beyond DSD 256, that's why I put you the screenshots to set in DSD 128 and DSD 256



    Which options on the first screen




    What options on the second screen end of the first screen to have all the options




    What are the options on the third screen in DSD?









    Thank you for your feedback

    I recommend that you go to the Roon Labs website and post this request under the HQPlayer forum. The developer of HQPlayer follows that thread regularly and can offer a solution to your situation.

    You asked the same question on Audiophile Style 3 hours ago, give that post a while since the HQPlayer developer post all the time over there.

    Re: Hqplayer Pro configuration with Roon Server

    You have to install the DAC drivers on the server and direct HQPlayer to use these. I'm at work and do not have mine in front of me to verify, and I cannot remember off the top of my head, but maybe it is in the Device box... you have to select the DAC (after installing the DAC drivers). HQPlayer uses the Windows Drivers to send the signal to your DAC.

    Posted on the other site , regarding HQPlayer 4 Pro with Roon

    Posted 2 hours ago

    You cannot use HQPlayer 4 Pro with Roon or any other external control application.



    It is just a file conversion / mastering tool for studios and record labels. Roon playback is not applicable in such use.



    Use HQPlayer 4 Desktop instead if you'd like to just like to perform playback from Roon.

    Re: Hqplayer Pro configuration with Roon Server

    Yup, forgot that also. I missed that he was asking about pro version. It is not for playback but for pro use. It is also really expensive if I recall. Definitely use the standard version, not the pro.

    Hmmm, $258 versus $3100... yea a bit more expensive .

    I checked their webpage. Even though they do not say specifically that you cannot use it to playback, they do state that pro is for professional uses.

    I checked on my settings. I choose my T+A in the devices box that I mentioned earlier. The DAC will be available when you install the Windows drivers. This really is probably your problem. HQPlayer will not be able to communicate with your DAC unless you install the drivers and select it in the devices.
