There's also a way to integrate HQPlayer with foobar2000. (It's easier for me to manually browse my music folders and create on-the-fly playlists.) Because I do things this way, I don't even bother trying to use HQPlayer's atrocious interface more than I have to I just delete the old playlist tracks from the library and load the latest ones by selecting the RAM drive. I use virtual RAM drives to store certain programs and files in memory now, which eliminates the stuttering and makes my computer operate more smoothly.
Since it's so processor-intensive with all the hardcore settings activated, HQPlayer makes music stutter on my laptop sometimes, even though it has nice specs. It would be interesting if you could report how things sound on your system with and without. Since you own the DAVE, I'd imagine it would sound better leaving the processing to the DAC. Everyone I've shared it with agrees that it sounds better, except for one who owns a high-end DAC and did not hear a difference. (And I've tried quite a few.)Īs I understand it, the processing it does is sort of like emulating high-end DACs. It's the only player I've found that actually does sound better than others. I think the insertion of mR is mostly to do with noise reduction, but I don't care what the reason is - I just go with what sounds best to me. But insert a microRendu using HQP's NAA mode and it goes up another division. The SQ differences between JRMC and HQP is not night and day IMO with direct USB connection. But, at substantial extra cost, you can link it with Roon to get the best of both worlds (some say - I've haven't tried Roon myself yet). Admittedly, HQP's rather basic UI is an acquired taste shall we say, And its library management is almost none existent. And it's a single command to import the whole lot into HQP's library.
I continue to use JRMC for ripping, tagging, library management and all those clever things it's good at - to organise things as i want them.

This on Windows in my case, as that's all I've got, but others have enthused about HQP on OSX. I'm currently using both with everything switched off, other than some dither on HQP. I've found HQ Player to sound better than JRiver irrespective of DSP settings, or bit perfectness, or conversion/upsampling. It's not a case of believing - all one has to do is to listen.
