![]() ![]() Is there any reason that I should think about putting this closer to the main hifi system chain (same ethernet switch)ģ. ![]() I understand what antipodes does with its servers (to some extent), but does this matter again if not connected to the system directly?Ģ. In this setup do I need to worry about upgraded powercords/cables etc as I would with something directly connected to the hifi system? Given that the signal is going to then travel across my ethernet cable in the convoluted path it takes around my house. It could potentially sit elsewhere in my house.ġ. I was thinking of using the Mini to upscale and as a roon core, then feeding the antipodes via ethernet (used only as an endpoint). My model has a coax output as well as the USB. I am currently using an antipodes dx gen2 server with roon (as server/endpoint). I have a mac mini sitting unused in my cupboard, and thought I could use it with roon/hqplayer to upsample everything for the qutest. ![]() I was considering feeding it with an upscaled source (in lieu of an mscaler). I'm waiting on some new cables, though have not yet changed it's power supply. It may not be the dac I use forever so to speak, however it seems to respond well to tweaks and upgrades. I have also been experimenting with a chord qutest DAC that I recently picked up. Denon 1600NE (has its own internal PCM1795 DAC)Īlso have a SMSL Sanskrit 10th MKII on its way.I've recently done some upgrade of my system (new pre and amp) and am getting a lot more sound out of my system.I appreciate I may be misunderstanding the whole process when it comes to HQplayer! I'm really just asking if this is a viable solution rather than how to do it as I'm sure I could figure it out if it's possible. HQ Player upsampling and playing streams to my DAC.Foobar playing streams with HQ Player as an output.The Tidal Andriod Cast feature doesn't see the Tidal desktop app as a device (if it did I would quite happily forget all of this and use that instead!)Īnyway, the above set up works OK but I'm only getting around CD quality sound and I was wondering if upsampling using HQplayer would provide a benefit rather than having the DAC do it? If so, would it be possible to fit this bit of software into the setup I have above? Perhaps between step 3 and 4 - Something like: I tried the Cast feature in the Tidal Andriod App to a Chromecast but it didn't sound good. Reason I do this is because I like to use my phone to select tracks and get my PC to play them via my DAC. PC running BubbleUpnp Server delivering streams to Foobar.Andriod Phone running BubbleUpnp Client (Tidal).I currently use Tidal for all my music listening. I have been looking into HQplayer and was wondering if it would benefit me. ![]()
