Integrating WASAPI Players on Windows with HQPlayer for PCM
#JRIVER SETTINGS VS HQPLAYER SOFTWARE#
I'll go over the software required, the configurations and their tradeoffs, and finally a set of batch commands to control HQPlayer using the command-line which makes it really easy to test out filters, shapers, and source URIs.
#JRIVER SETTINGS VS HQPLAYER HOW TO#
Glad to see JRemote getting some love.HQPlayer has popped up in a few rather specific threads recently, and I've been doing quite a bit of work with it recently so I thought I'd start a dedicated general HQPlayer thread rather than start another specific one.įor starters I'm going to provide a tutorial on how to integrate Jriver Media Center, Foobar2000 or basically any other player that can use a WASAPI interface on Windows with HQPlayer in a fairly seamless fashion for PCM-based streams (you can upsample the fuck out of it in HQPlayer to DSD if you want). Absolutely love the combination of JRiver/JRemote. You can select convert to mp3 if the LTE or WiFi connection is sketchy. I stream my library through any device with Airplay or a usb input.
#JRIVER SETTINGS VS HQPLAYER PLUS#
Plus I have access to my entire library through JRemote anywhere with an internet connection. JRemote is an awesome control point: fast, attractive, and configurable.

We shall see…ĮDIT: I just saw on the JRiver website that a new version of JRemote is in beta. Maybe the issues will be smaller given the closed system approach. I think keeping software working in today’s environment requires that kind of effort (and of course, there’s still issues). It is on a level 20 times higher than what happens here.

In addition, they also have lots of expert level users that participate on the web page and respond to issues. Most of them are active on the JRiver web site and respond to issues regularly. JRiver has dedicated programmers working out bugs every day. Very skeptical given PSAs software prowess (sorry, I go back to eLyric and all the failed attempts to make Bridge I gapless). I can’t imagine the tedious exercise of comparing one software player v another. They both deliver bit perfect data to my DSD and likely sound close enough. Maybe Roon sounds better or worse than JRiver.

If JRiver completely abandons JRemote, I’m out and will go back to Roon. Yes, crazy analysis considering what I spend on gear. Don’t like to commit to anything for that long (lifetime?) but the yearly fee seems too high. I can look up music anywhere on the internet is my position. Not sure I see the big deal of the interface but it’s nice. JRiver was left with a product they own, written in a language they’re not familiar with, and have basically orphaned the product. JRiver purchased JRemote from it’s author, hired it’s author and after some resulting controversy, the JRemote author quit shortly after being hired. Panel is a web based control point that just doesn’t cut it (IMHO). Hasn’t been updated in a couple years (there is a current rumor that it’s being worked on). However, I am very disappointed that JRemote (the working half of the experience: Control Point) does not receive any love at all. It is super configurable and fits my method of playing well. When I read people say they don’t like how Roon sounds I often wonder what setup they used, if not stated, the opinion is less valuable.ĭedicated JRiver user here. It sounds great without, but I prefer the extra little bit of fine tuning the filters apply for my room. Additionally, HQP can be used with it in several configurations, yet another variable. Also, Roon functions can be split up so that the Core is not connected to the DAC, rather a Bridge is. I don’t use it to upsample, just pass on through allowing the DS to perform all upsampling to DSD.Įxperiences with Roon will vary considerably depending on the host operating system and connection to DAC. I just started using HQPe in November, it takes Roon out of the sound business completely. Pink Faun runs AudioLinux (a build of Arch Linux) in very low latency mode, along with HQPlayer Embedded. I currently have overkill hardware, Pink Faun 2.16 I2S to DS. The sound quality took a nice step up with both 1.4 and 1.5. I’ve run it on a variety of hardware but always through DS to BHK pre and M700.
