The latest Luxman range has a gorgeous Class A offering.

Search this site & you'll find everything you will ever need. https://community.klipsch.com and here's a link to a build I did for a set of Belles. This build is equally applicable for a set of La Scalas in terms of the components used. https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/195164-belle-build/&tab=comments#comment-2545936

I use kid3 & find it works really well. Lots of options for changing meta.

Any thoughts........anyone?

Hi, Currently I run a MacBook Pro into a Berkeley Alpha USB then into a NAIM DAC. I'm looking at swapping out the MAC for one of the above file players. The Alpha USB dramatically improved the sound of my system. If I use the Core, I can't use the Alpha, as it will connect straight through with a BNC SPIDF cable. (The NAIM has BNC inputs only) If I use the Innuos , can I still use the Alpha USB to connect to the NAIM? & do you think the addition of the Alpha in the chain will be better than the direct connection from the Core to the NAIM?

Thanks Miska.....too easy. And thanks also for a great program & by the way, I love the client interface, nice & simple to use.

So if I upsample to 192, do I use NX filters & set 1X to none? ....or does it mean if all my files are RedBook, I use 1X & set NX to none?

I also cannot see this information anymore. I use NAIM DAC, Berkeley ALPHA USB, with MacBook Pro.

Can someone enlighten me on the new filters in HQP4? With HQP3 we had in PCM - "Filter - Dither - Sample Rate". Now we have - Filter 1X - Filter Nx - Dither - Sample Rate. What is the difference between Filter 1X & Filter Nx? Do you set them to the same values? Thanks.

I was trying to get this to work just with the stand alone computer through the built in speakers. When I connect the computer into my system & select my DAC it works fine. Still can't get the preferences panel to show the full screen, but can work around that. Sorry for wasting everyone's time. I have to say that this is absolutely the best sounding software I have ever heard. I was a long time Amarra user & when I think of the amount of dollars invested in that, HQP is truly a real bargain. Couple that with the best support in the business from Miska & it's an unbeatable package. Thanks Miska for upgrading our system for a mere pittance.

Yes, expanded to full screen, but it just overlays the part I can't see over the top of the other one & you can't figure out what you're adjusting. I changed the output & input to different ones & it just reverts back to the same.

So I've made a little progress. Went through browse & imported 1 album.....still won't play. When I press play, it shows the album loading, but doesn't play. Also, I can't get to the settings at the bottom of the screen in preferences....see attached.

Thanks for clearing that up. Will look at the opinions on "4" before purchasing,as I'm very happy with "3". I only use PCM & upsample, so DSD & other features aren't really of interest.

OK...so I have both "Client" & "Desktop" opened, but can't get my library into the software. Do I need to have both of these running? I usually go to ....file...library...scan, with "structure only" selected, but this doesn't work. If I go to ....import library....it will let me import a single album, but not the whole library, but it still won't play. When I enter my license key it is still in evaluation mode.....do I have to purchase this software again? Regards, John

I just tried to upgrade my HQ Player Desktop to the latest version. I currently have HQPlayer 3 Desktop & downloaded the new HQPlayer 4 Desktop, but obviously this is not going to work as a stand alone player. Is the stand alone player not available anymore? What do I do if I have to reload my computer or get a new computer? Many thanks, John
