You can access the user interface with any computer of mobile device on your network. This is a complete system ready to use out of the box.

All went well until they changed the app which made it useless for classical music, where we need to see more metadata on the album screen - list view required as opposed to prettier looking icon view. I’m sure many would like it and it could help in a harsh system but I hated it!Ī while back I dipped my toe into streaming with Sonos. The sound was very “refined” and smooth, but robbed the music of life. Talking of smoothing the sound, I used an Auralic streamer for a week here. If that is affecting sound as well as user interface we are doubly vulnerable.
#HQPLAYER TRIAL UPDATE#
I've spent a lot of money getting my system to a nice place and then one firmware update and I feel like I've taken a step back.Ī cautionary tale I’d been looking at innuos as a more elegant solution than running a Nuc PC. These streamer machines aren’t cheap, indeed some are ridiculously expensive, which is OK until one realises that we are subject to any changes in software the manufacturer might inflict on us. TBH I'm now considering a Lumin as a result.

I suggest they make these smoothing filters a toggle setting. The guy I spoke to from AE explained that they had definitely implemented some filters in the new software. The latter configuration provided me with a much improved functionality (over running Core on an MBP with music on said same MBP) along with a noticeable uplift in SQ. As I've said upthread, if you decide to stay with Roon, then aim to run Core on a dedicated Roon Rock installation on a stand alone dedicated, always on, NUC. If you're going to be doing loads of processing with Roon then make sure your laptop/PC/whatever has sufficient processing power. Roon Remote should now 'see' your Zen as an end point and off you go (once you've told Roon where to look for your music and provide login details to Tidal, etc)! It really is much easier than it sounds.
#HQPLAYER TRIAL INSTALL#
Install Roon Core on a laptop/PC/Mac attached to your network (strongly recommend ethernet connection). It might be different with the new software but it'll be something similarĬhoose 'use as a Roon player' rather than run Roon Core on the Zen. Trying to link the innuos to Roon seems quite complicated and there are no guides that I can find!!!

I'm also going to spend time this weekend trying to set up my office PC as a Roon core and they attempt to use my Innous as a bridge and then install HQPlayer on a trial and see what that all sounds like.

The operating system plus all that processing along with a streamer in the same box? No thanks! I'm not aware of any streamer that runs on board HQ Player (I could well be mistaken/incompletely informed here though). If you don't want to use a PC/laptop, etc, then I think you're stuck. Thus you need a device that will properly run HQ Player. I seem to remember that NAA is supported by the Sonore MicroRendu, if you want to go that way?There are many others, as you probably know. I'm looking for a way to stream using HQ Player without the need to a) use a laptop or b) use Roon. If I have streamer that supports HQ via, NAA, do I need to add a PC to do the actual rendering, or does the streamer do that? For example SOtM and StackAudio are both mentioned as being streamers that support HQ Player. HQPlayer recommends a couple of streamers that support HQPlayer via NAA Please can some cleverer than me explain how NAA works on a streamer?
