| Signalyst HQPlayer - Is it worth the upgrade? @mgrif104 , One thing I will mention is that "not all the bits are the same". So when I got the T+A new, I used Foobar to send DSD 512 and DSD 1024 to the DAC and noticed a difference over the previous DAC. But it was not a "game changing" experi... | |
| HiFi Rose RD160 DAC Thank You @jon2020 I will not be using the DAC as a preamp. | |
| Signalyst HQPlayer - Is it worth the upgrade? @mgrif104 That is a fascinating upgrade to look forward to - completely different league. Before you sell the DAC 200, I hope you get a chance to experience DSD 512 on this DAC. In my experience the DAC 200 without DSD 512 is like Clark Kent. An... | |
| HQ Player for Dummies Correct on both questions @boulder_bob . My PC build is linked here. Currently I do 512 DSD and it works fine even with the ASDDM7EC-super 512+fs shaper. | |
| HQ Player for Dummies You are welcome @boulder_bob I looked up opticalRendu and see this in the description - "Mode #4 - HQ Player NAA Output". So, you seem to be better equipped for streaming than I am so you go from your PC to your DAC with a USB cable? any jitte... | |
| HQ Player for Dummies @boulder_bob , no question is stupid. I am learning more on HQ Player and simply thilled at my experience. I will try to answer your questions, based on what I have learned till date: HQ Player is to be used on a computer, correct? Yes If I ... | |
| Signalyst HQPlayer - Is it worth the upgrade? @mgrif104 , That DAC you own is a level above the DAC 200 and HQ Player can only take it higher, per my experience. I am new to this whole HQ Player setup and not using the NAA feature. Have you tried the AudiophileStyle forum? I would like to kn... | |
| Signalyst HQPlayer - Is it worth the upgrade? Wanted to revive thread in appreciation of HQ Player. I am in awe of what it has been doing with FLAC files upsampled to 512 DSD. I was gravitating more to streaming for the past couple of years. But with the HQ Player, I have been looking more to... | |
| HiFi Rose RD160 DAC @toro3, Good to know that my feedback would be helpful. My decision was based on tons of reading user reviews (not professional) and reaching out to folks 1:1 on PMs. Most people will be helpful in providing their perspective. And it helps even m... | |
| DAC for Aurender N200 +1 @jwpstayman The Aurender and T+A DAC 200 might make a great combo, since the Aurender can do both - PCM and DSD on USB. This is one flexible DAC with tons of option. | |
| Any regrets in selling gear? I have made up my mind that I want to sell my Oppo UDP-205 soon. Not sure if I will regret later. I have not spun a single disc since July-2020. But you never know how regret strikes. | |
| HQ Player for Dummies @dolfan , I recently purchased the T+A DAC 200 and decided to download the HQ Player. I was able to get it up and running under 20 minutes. The ODF manual is straightforward and Jussi has already defaulted the best filters and modulator for DSD o... | |
| HiFi Rose RD160 DAC @toro3 , ”happy” is not the right word. “Ecstatic” would come close, along with joy. When I initially used it with Foobar, it easily trounced the Oppo I was using as a DAC. Then I decided to demo the HQ Player. It took me under 30 seconds to deci... | |
| Music to let Your System Shine I have a playlist on Spotify called "Show Off". Any song that has some great recording goes under this list. Far too many to list here. | |
| Tube selection 12AT7 and 12AX7 - preamp If you get a chance to try the Psvane Horizon series tubes, please give it a shot. My NOS Mazda 1962s are resting in their boxes. |
