What this does is give you some flexibility for HQPlayer to play at mismatched bitrates without freezing up. ***Very Important Set the Stream fmt to "Cable range". You can leave the 1 to 2 config for NC (Number of channels) or fix it at 2 for stereo like I have. *Important Set the BPS (Bits per sample) to 32 or HQPlayer will try to use some janky 22-bit connection in certain cases. I'm using 384k just for shits and giggles. Note that the dropdown stops at 192k for the upper limit, you'll need to type a higher value in manually if you want a higher value. That is, whatever the sample rate of your stuff is.

You only need one virtual cable, as the cable can carry up to 8 channels.įor the Cable config in the Format Range for SR (sample rate) you want to set the range to the full range (or more) of what you might expect as input. Once installed you get a detailed control panel like so: You can try the VB Audio HiFiCable and ASIO Bridge - that should work as well in theory. NOTE the free Lite version maxxes out at 48k, so it's useless for our purposes if you have any Hi-Res content. To my mind it's worth the $30, especially since it liberates you from the tragic experience of playing audio through HQPlayer itself. And one-man-band awesome Russian companies. Also I'm a geek so I like the diagnostic ability that VAC gives you with its graceless but detailed UI. I'm using Virtual Audio Cable because I got some popping with VB Audio early on and gave up on it.

#HQPLAYER MAC HOW TO#
Lower the PCM sampling rate until you achieve stable uninterrupted playback.HQPlayer has popped up in a few rather specific threads recently, and I've been doing quite a bit of work with it recently so I thought I'd start a dedicated general HQPlayer thread rather than start another specific one.įor starters I'm going to provide a tutorial on how to integrate Jriver Media Center, Foobar2000 or basically any other player that can use a WASAPI interface on Windows with HQPlayer in a fairly seamless fashion for PCM-based streams (you can upsample the fuck out of it in HQPlayer to DSD if you want). Your computer may not be powerful enough to perform the resampling and/or transcoding from PCM to DSD.
#HQPLAYER MAC INSTALL#
Select ASIO.ĭownload and install HQPlayer. By default the Input is set to Core Audio.
#HQPLAYER MAC MANUAL#
Follow the instructions from the Owner's Manual for your DAC.Ĭlick on the exaSound Dashboard icon.
#HQPLAYER MAC FOR MAC OS#
You need to have the exaSound driver for Mac OS installed and configured in ASIO mode.
