Hi Thanks for the reply. I was pretty sure that A+ desktop would need to be running. I have a license for A+ and find that it's IOS remote is very good. On my system I prefer the SQ of HQPlayer, but running it on a headless Mac mini is a pain in the ass. I have used Geoff's HQPlayer via iTunes which works pretty well. I am sure I am not alone in hoping for a dedicated HQPlayer IOS remote app. ( Roon is far too expensive for just its remote function and I don't want any of its other features) Regards Carl Mawer

Hi I have been looking for an IOS control for HQPlayer. Has anybody used Audirvana Remote to play through HQPlayer4. If it works I can justify the upgrade cost. Regards Carl

Hi Miska Thanks taking the time to help me. Installation using dpkg -i worked perfectly however with backend naa selected in HQPlayer preferences, devices show initially but are then lost during play. I have tried using older versions of armhf.deb that you provide with the same result. I suspect that my Orange Pi +2e is beginning to fail. Do you know if http://www.orangepi.org/orangepipc2/ would work with the naa-356-x64 image that you provide? Thanks Carl

Blast spoke too soon. HQPlayer keeps losing the device ( with NAA selected as backend in HQPlayer preferences the device box is empty) Rebooting the OrangePi brings back the device temporarily. But play stops and the device connection has gone. Do you think this is something to do with the permission denied message in the screenshot of terminal above? Couple of things are different from the set up that was rock solid before. Under Backend there is now NetworkAudioAdapter IPV6 as well as NetworkAudioAdapter, Core audio and ASIO When devices do show up there is OrangePIWaveIO (my DAC) and OrangePI audiocodec. Could these "new" choices be associated with the Problems? Thanks in Advance Carl

Please disregard last post. Rebooted the OrangePi HQplayer now sees the DAC under NAA Many thanks for the help Kind Regards Carl

Thanks Miska Ran into an installation problem. Got to a configure, page pushed OK (tab enter). Got the following in Terminal

Help Please I have been using an OrangePi +2e for NAA successfully for a couple of years now. The boot disk became corrupted and I have flashed the Armbian 5.75 Debian Stretch 4.19.20 to a new Micro SD card. The OrangePi is up and running again. Unfortunately I can not remember which of the HQPlayer NAA .deb packages to install. The OrangePi has an Allwinner H3 chip. Thanks in Advance Carl

Hi I have been using Geoffs iTunes - HQPlayer Server for a number of months now without any issues. All of my music is in AIFF format and on the internal drive of my mac mini. Give it a try, it works wonderfully. Using Remote on my iPhone to play albums through HQPlayer is a simple, fast, and elegant way to enjoy listening to my music collection. I have found a couple of albums in my collection that would play in iTunes but not hand off to HQPlayer. Deleting these albums from iTunes and importing them again solved the problem. For those of you reporting issues. Don't give up. Something in your setup will probably be causing a problem. I am sure that Geoff will be able to help once he returns from his Xmas break with his family. Seasons Greetings Carl

Hi Geoff As you know I have already expressed my support for this Kodi addon in the other thread. Anybody wanting a great remote for HQPlayer should download Kodi and the free version of its music remote control app to see just how wonderful the interface will be. You do not have to subscribe to Qbuz or Tidal, you can use the Kodi/Supersonic combination to play your music library via HQPlayer. I have trialled Roon and find the Kodi interface far superior. Regards Carl

Thanks Miska Dac has no volume controllable software. (Audionote Dac with Luckit WaveIO usb input) I got it working by uninstalling pulse audio and fiddling with alsamixer. (only took this unix no nothing about 8 hours) Regards Carl

Hi I am trying to get an Orangepi plus 2e set up as an NAA. I have the orangepi up and running using Armbian Xenial (beta at this stage) I have used the Debian stretch armhf NAA image provided by Miska ( there is no armhf Xenial image available from Miska). The Debian Stretch armhf.deb installs fine. When I launch HQPlayer it sees the NAA and my dac. I can set an album playing but there is no volume. Any ideas? Do I need to ask Miska for an armhf Xenial download?

I am exited by the prospect of being able to use Kodi to play my music files through HQPlayer. I have downloaded Kodi, and the Kodi Music app on my iPad. Exactly what I am looking for in terms of remote control, so easy to use. If we are able to harness the wonderful SQ of HQPlayer with the ease of remote management via Kodi it will be wonderful.

Very interested in your Kodi/HQPlayer solution. Thank you for your efforts in making computer based audio more accessible. Happy to pay or donate. Regards Carl Mawer

Hi Stephen I had the same problem when using the Armbian Jessie Image. I fixed it by using the Xenial image that Armbian also provided for the Neo. I notice that there is no Xenial image for the M1. Maybe somebody on the Armbian forum can sort it for you. They have been very helpful with me. Let me know how you get on. I am looking at moving to an Orange Pi + 2E as it has a Gigabit ethernet port which might work with the Gigabit Fibre Media Converters that I have. I cant get the fibre to work with the slower ethernet of the Neo despite the Media Converters being advertised as auto negotiating. Armbian do not have a Xenial image for the Orange Pi + 2E so will need to find a way to overcome the same problem. Regards Carl Mawer

Howdy Planning to try an optical Ethernet connection to my NAA. Can you see any issues with using the same linear power supply that I use for my NAA for the fibre media converter at the NAA end? Regards Carl
