#Jplay vs hqplayer how to#

There are a few upsampling options that are present in Roon. This former path bypasses the internal DSD256 upsampling of the SA-10. Denon 1600NE (has its own internal PCM1795 DAC)ДЄlso have a SMSL Sanskrit 10th MKII on its way. Before adding HQPlayer, perhaps you may just try using Roon to upsample CD rips of 44.1kHz to DSD256 (or DSD128 if DSD256 does not work) vs Roon lossless output of 44.1kHz.

#Jplay vs hqplayer how to#

I appreciate I may be misunderstanding the whole process when it comes to HQplayer! I'm really just asking if this is a viable solution rather than how to do it as I'm sure I could figure it out if it's possible.

HQ Player upsampling and playing streams to my DAC.

Foobar playing streams with HQ Player as an output.

The Tidal Andriod Cast feature doesn't see the Tidal desktop app as a device (if it did I would quite happily forget all of this and use that instead!)ДЄnyway, the above set up works OK but I'm only getting around CD quality sound and I was wondering if upsampling using HQplayer would provide a benefit rather than having the DAC do it? If so, would it be possible to fit this bit of software into the setup I have above? Perhaps between step 3 and 4 - Something like: I tried the Cast feature in the Tidal Andriod App to a Chromecast but it didn't sound good. Reason I do this is because I like to use my phone to select tracks and get my PC to play them via my DAC.

I currently use Tidal for all my music listening. I was unable to detect any evidence of sonic difference at 16/44 and 24/96 compared to a standard foobar set-up. Since the program claims to be bit perfect, this is good I guess. I have been looking into HQplayer and was wondering if it would benefit me. Technically, JPLAY appears to be bit perfect with 16/44 and likely 24/96 based on my tests (of course we cannot say this for 24/48).
