Thank you Ericuco. How can I check if it is Atom based?(forgive me if it is a silly question!) Massimo

Thanks El Guapo for your answer. Indeed, I’ve always downloaded the most recent HQPlayerd image because usually Jussi fixes bugs or improves his own software. I prefer to keep alignment. But, I do not know which of the two (sse42 vs avx2) it is better for my NAA hardware. Other points of view? Thanks Massimo

Dear All, I need your help. I’using UP squared as NAA and I’ve always used Jussi’s hqplayer-embedded as boot image. I have not updated it for some months and now I noticed that Jussy’s 4.32 version is released in several files. I do not know which is the right one to download ?!? I bought my UP squared in 2010, so it is not a recent model. Can you please help? Thank you in advance Massimo

44.1k, 48k >> 11.2M and 6.1M ... why not? Hi Jussi, I have a DAC that can manage PCM 384k and 256 DSD, both families, 44.1k and 48k. I flagged the “Auto-rate family” and my DAC is working accordingly: 11.2M and 12.2M respectively. Unfortunately – while I have no problem for 44.1k, there is a noise at 256 DSD for the 48k family (this occurs after a few seconds, and likely it is because the driver is not fully stable at that frequency). So I thought I could by-pass the problem by limiting the DSD Bit Rate to 44,1k x 256, while still keeping the “Auto-rate family” flagged. My expectations were to have: 11.2M when in input we have 44.1k 6.1M when in input we have 48.1k But HQP does not play at all when a 48k file is in input. Why? Many thanks Massimo

Thanks! Indeed I was convinced I posted in the HQ player thread ,,,,😊

Thank you. superdad.

Hi Jussi, can you give just some example of DAC with NAA built in? does it also mean that you can use your HQP on that FAC? Thanks Massimo

Hi Jussi, I downgraded to 1803 and .... it works now! it is great to listen to DSD256! I would have preferred Linux but W10 seems the only OS I can use now in my NAA. Jussi, many thanks for your guidance and patience!

Hi Jussi, as you suspected, the driver is Microsoft. I'm going to contact North Star to act accordingly. I have W10 1809 installed and I would also try and downgrade to 1803 if I can, in order to test if the problem still remain. Will let you know.

Hi Jussi, i tried it but unsuccessfully. I did also reinstall W10 Pro from scratch, even avoiding to install specific W10 drivers for UP_2, but no chance. After I installed the ASIO driver and connected my DAC, it does not work. Thanks in any case for your time. Massimo

Jussi, it is really weird. I have installed HQP on the UP where I have the same OS (W10 Pro) and the same ASIO driver. DAC is recognized but only WASAPI is working. I have disinstalled and then reinstalled again the ASIO driver but nothing changed. In the HQPlayer.log, ASIO driver is found but there is a message: createEngine(): ...... ASIOInit(): (-1000) ASIO PCM-DSD USB Enum Failure! does it help you to understand?

If I connect directly my PC (W10 based) to the DAC via USB, I’m able to run DSD256.

Hi Jussi, i followed your hint and installed W10 on UP_2. All went well and I installed ASIO driver by North Star soon after and then your networkaudiod for Windows. All is running but unfortunately it seems that once more my DAC is not properly recognized. Message I have is “ASIO format selector not supported, assuming PCM” and I’m not able to play anything, nor DSD nor PCM. Can you please help? Thank you Massimo

Right. Do not know whether it is good to continue with my small Linux and limit to DSD128 or install W10 to have DSD256 ,,,
