30 years since the first DAC design, 25 years since the beginning of the HQPlayer project, and 15 years since first commercial release of HQPlayer, it is time to release fifth generation of HQPlayer technology. Perfecting listening expriences by harnessing power of modern DSP.

Arrived today! Next gen @UPbridge_gap

First batch of USB dongles arrived. Alternative for hardware fingerprint, for hardware tweakers!

Some more testing gear landed 😏

@AudioFerrum Hypsos PSU powering @UPbridge_gap UP-Board Gateway running #HQPlayer NAA OS, feeding Holo Audio Spring 3 and @AudioFerrum Oor headphone amplifier.

Getting ready for a new #HQPlayer server build! As a side effect curious to see how the onboard ESS Sabre DAC performs (not a reason to buy this motherboard, but nice extra that happens to be there).

Some gear rearrangements as #HoloAudio Spring 2 DAC has landed!

#HQPlayer Embedded running on #ARM64 platform. @solid_run @nxp #iMX8M

After a long while again time see how these things work on ARM platform. Output to DSD64 just barely works. But it /does/ work without shortcuts. Still a way to go to reach @intel platforms, but OTOH, @NXP having better hardware audio facilities on #imx8m

Hmmh, is this normal, or is someone playing with #stingray 's? Not used to see Russian operators near Upinniemi Navy base in Finland. Mobile internet access is crawling depending on used cellular modem... #security #4g #lte Does all this have something to do with #putin #trump ?

Saturday night listening of the #HoloAudio Cyan #DSD DAC... 🕺

#HoloAudio Cyan #DSD DAC arrived! This is "DSD-only" DAC, almost like made for #HQPlayer!

Added native DSD support for @ProJectAudioSys Pre Box S2 Digital to the #Linux kernel. Now doing DSD512 from #HQPlayer on #Linux.
