HQPlayer is a high quality audio player for Mac OS X. HQPlayer also features several selectable high quality upsampling and downsampling algorithms as well as selectable dither, noise shaping and modulator algorithms. All modern DACs employ oversampling and delta-sigma modulation, however the hardware implementations are more or less resource constrained.

Higher quality oversampling and delta-sigma modulation can be done by utilizing vast mount of processing power available in modern PCs. Many AVRs also resample internally to 48, 96 or 192 kHz, with the HQPlayer, these can be fed at the native rate. Want to buy 192/24 or DXD files for future but currently own only 96/24 capable hardware? Or want to buy DSD128 or DSD256 files but currently own only DSD64 or 192/24 PCM capable hardware? Resampling and dither/noise shaper can be used to playback high resolution files on a lower resolution hardware, allowing future-proof investment on high resolution files. For digital room correction and other equalization purposes, selectable convolution algorithms are included. Convolution engine supports RIFF (WAV) format FIR impulse responses, which can be produced with suitable software, such as Acourate, Room EQ Wizard or DRC.

Network Audio Adapter
Network audio is especially useful to give freedom from cables when player is run on a tablet or other wireless device. Processing is performed by the player application and the processed data is then asynchronously streamed over network to a very lightweight network audio adapter interfacing to the DAC. Asynchronous FIFO provides maximum isolation between processing and audio reproduction.

Description: HQPlayer Pro is a high-quality audio file converter, recorder, and player for Windows. HQPlayer features several user-selectable high-quality resamplers as well as user-selectable dither/noise shaping algorithms and delta-sigma modulators.

It is mainly intended as a mastering post-production tool for producing high-quality final distribution files in various formats. Any of the supported source formats can be converted to any of the supported destination formats. For example, DXD intermediate format can be converted to both PCM and DSD outputs.

Recording and playback are also supported in both PCM and SDM (DSD) formats. Playback feature also allows monitoring of final output format during conversion and recording, monitoring can be enabled/disabled on the fly.

HQPlayer Pro also includes a pipeline matrix for performing channel routing, mixing and gain adjustments, including convolution engine for applying advanced equalization or other kinds of effects.

Features:

• Automatic gapless output track splicing for album processing
• Switchable realtime output monitoring
• Software upsampling / downsampling with selectable algorithm up to 32-bit 1.536 MHz or down to 16-bit 32 kHz PCM (28 options, most “apodizing”)

• Direct DSD up / down rate conversions (2 options)
• Selectable dithering / noise shaping algorithm (8 options)
• Selectable convolution algorithm (FIR) for equalization, such as digital room correction (2 options), for PCM/DSD content
• Optional high-frequency expansion for the convolution engine
• Software-based digital volume control for PCM and SDM (DSD)
