vortecjr Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 This week I have been testing a Small Green Computer i5 sonicTransporter music server running Singalyst HQPlayer 4 Embedded to upsampling UPnP streams, Tidal streams, and Qobuz streams. The resampled and filtered stream is then sent to my ultraRendu via the NAA protocol. In this configuration HQPlayer 4 Embedded show up as a UPnP renderer making it very easy to send streams to it from your favorite DLNA/UPnP controller and server. Enabling HQPlayer 4 Embedded as an OpenHome renderer with BubbleUPnP Server then also you to stream Tidal and Qobuz via an application like Kazoo. In the next post I'll show you how to configure this feature.

wmfrog Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 When I install HQ Player and BubbleUPnP on the sonic transporter (version 2.7), I don't see the sonicTransporter in the Media Renderers list. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks Link to comment

wmfrog Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Thanks. I do that, but then I see the UltraRendu rather than the sonicTransporter. Link to comment
vortecjr Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 My microRendu was in MPD DLNA mode so from App Switcher I selected NAA. From sonicTransporter I open the HQ Player E configuration and selected the microRendu and hit Apply. This is what I see in BubbleUPnP Server.

wmfrog Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Thanks again JR. Something is funky. I reinstalled BubbleUPnP and HQ Player Server. I can now select the UltraRendu in the HQ Player config screen. But I don't see the UltraRendu or the SonicTransporter in the BubbleUPnP Server Media Renderer list. There are some older comments of people with this problem in earlier versions of HQ Player, but I don't find any current fix. Link to comment
vortecjr Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 If the ultraRendu is in NAA mode you should not see it in BubbleUPnP. SONORE computer audio | opticalRendu | ultraRendu | microRendu | Signature Rendu SE | endPoint | opticalModule DX | Power Supplies | Link to comment
wmfrog Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Right, but I'm trying to see the SonicTransporter and your step 1 above is to put the Rendu in HQPlayer NAA mode. I'm at a loss why I can't see the Sonictransporter. I can see other renderers on my network. Thanks Link to comment

agillis Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Talked to Jesus this morning. Try this 1. Go into Apps / DAC Diagnostics on the ultraRendu and make sure your DAC is there. 2. Go into Apps / App Switcher on the ultraRendu and select NAA. 3. Go into Settings / HQplayer Config on the sonicTransporter and make sure the ultraRendu is selected as the NAA player. 4. It should now show up in BubbleUPnP Server. agillis Small Green Computer http://www.smallgreencomputer.com/ Link to comment
