XXHighEnd

Anybody (except Mani, who's traveling) run HQ at all?  I want to run it for one reason only: I have a huge amount of DSD material (downloads, SACD rips, but mostly my own DSD128 vinyl recordings).

So, it doesn't work, on my Phasure PC with the Phasure DAC, and I can't figure it out.  Here's what I get:

- With WASAPI, Phasure selected as device, it won't even play
- With ASIO, Phasure selected as device, the player plays, but there's no actual sound output

I've tried all permutations of 2-wire (which you can't turn on with ASIO) and the XX switch on the DAC up or down.

(Why try up?  Cause from the Mac Mini server I no longer use, HQ worked fine with the NOS1A, and I even got 768 Khz to work using 2-wire in HQ with the XX switch on the DAC enabled.)

I have tried launching HQ (only) after a fresh reboot in case running XX first was affecting it, but that does not help.

And this HQ install from this same Phasure PC worked fine with another DAC I had here recently.  So it's not like the player install is just broken.

Maybe it's time to reinstall the thing.  But I doubt that would do it either.

So, if anyone has HQ on Windows working with the Phasure DAC, please let me know if there is some secret, or something I may be missing.

Hi Paul,

HQP works fine with XXHighEnd. It is only that you must find the settings to use to make it work. Not much different than XXHighEnd I'm afraid ... :)

ASIO is not supported by the NOS1 Driver (for better SQ).

WASAPI works, but you'll need to set the SFS higher. Start with 12 or so (can be lower but I forgot the threshold). Also take care that Q1 is at 14 and xQ1 at 1.

Don't reinstall things because for sure that won't help.
