I upgraded to embedded version 5.5.2-15amd and noticed a recess in soundstage compared to the previous version. I will further test over the weekend. My filter settings are Sinc L and medium. I hope the emphasis on the control interface doesn't compromise SQ, which is essentially what HQP is all about!

Great advice on DAC variants implementation, but it seems a bit off-topic. Let's shift our focus back to HQPlayer.

It am using the Accuphase DC-1000 DAC.

Wow, I just had the chance to upgrade HQP 5.50 and NAA OS to 5.00 and I am blown away by the sound quality! The clarity, resolution, and presence of the soundstage are simply amazing. I even noticed a higher loading on the server - from 44.1k to DSD256 - but unfortunately, I experienced some occasional pauses or stuttering with Sine L. This never happened with the previous version, 5.41 and NAA OS 4.61, but regardless, I am absolutely loving what I am hearing. Thank you so much, Jussi, for continuing to improve this incredible technology!👍👍👍

Have you updated the firmware to 2.0? Check on the JCat forum for more info. If you are on the latest firmware, have you tried on another mainboard to troubleshoot?

I used JCat USB XE and JCat Network card, all seems working fine in my NAA OS setup.

Hey Jussi, could you help me with that? How or what I need to do?

Thanks Guys. I am having trouble booting the new NAA OS 4.60. The previous version 4.50 booted successfully. However, I believe that the new 4.6 should boot. Once it is booted up, we can reconfigure the network settings to have one operational network port.

It should complete the boot. Previously, both ports were connected and it worked fine.

Thanks Stefan, I disabled the on-board LAN port and used a JCat Network card.

Hi, I have upgraded the NAA OS to version 5.60. However, I am having a hard time getting it to work properly. It keeps getting stuck during the network configuration process. I didn't have any issues with the previous version 4.50, it worked fine. I appreciate your troubleshooting advice. Thank you very much.

Apologise for the delay. Many thanks to Rovo - I am happy to share that his instructions worked flawlessly. Big thank you to you Rovo. I had it’s working with the latest NAA OS 4.50 currently.

Thanks guys. I lower the speed from 6000Mhz 1.35v to the second option (5600Mhz 1.35v), which works—playing over the last hour without issue. Happy days. 👌

So I pick up the 2 DDR5 sticks today and exactly what pis99 said. With 4 sticks of the identical DDR5, HQP OS 5.03 became unstable and freeze. I tried with 3 sticks, it shares the same issue. @Miska Can you please help? The screen shows this when HQP OS became frozen.

One last question @pis99. Was the experience on HQp 5 or 4? I asked because I reached out to Jussi before committing. He said 4 will improve performance unless my interpretation is incorrect.
