I recently started to experiment with apodizing (apod) vs non-apod filters, this list will help you find equivalent options and more systematically determine what works best for you in your system. Read the Friendly Manual - specifically pages 16-19 (filter choices). Upcoming rumored M1X or M2 revision should stretch to higher bit rate DSD resampling as well (not sure if that wouldn’t still be asking too much from the current gen - fortunately I don’t need DSD). Mac Mini M1 base configuration can be had for less than $600k and the form factor is brilliant (not many smaller systems around). One that I had overlooked and has now become my favorite: poly-sinc-gauss-xl.įeasibility of HQP has increased significantly for me since I moved to a Mac Mini M1 (16GB RAM) on my desk, which is completely silent and sufficiently powerful to run HQP in the background (unlike Intel/AMD machines where that would have sent the fans spinning or otherwise impeded smooth system usage). Several of the new filters bring distinctly new possibilities over previous versions, including sinc-L, sinc-MX, and ext3. Very nice and fatigue free sound for many different genres (unlike past HQPlayer experiments). Right now listening to my current SR1 chain Adagio->Ayon Spheris III->HSA-1a. My primary DAC is a Metrum Adagio (still on DAC2, waiting for DAC3 upgrade in the mail) via I2s at 192khz (shaper Gauss1, limit 20bit).
For the first time I can see running it continuously as a default for my Roon headphone sessions. Just got back to giving HQPlayer another try (current version 4.13.1).
