Home Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

I have HQ 3.14.4

I upsample everything to DSD 128.
I use poly-sinc-shrt-mp, ASDM7, Bit Rate limit of 49152000,
Vol Max 0db, Vol Min -6 db ( Jussi's recommendation for up sampling to DSD128),
Pipeline DSD, SDM pack Dop.
It also upsamples DSD64 to any of the higher rates (2x, 4x)
without conversion to PCM.
No one else does that, all others convert to PCM first.

No problems at all operationally.

That being said, my Sony HAP Z1 bettered my Lampizator and Mytek Dacs, by no small margin, in direct comparison using same files playing at the same time.
The Sony is too big (deep) for my equipment rack in Den System,
I only use it in Living Room System.
I've been searching for a replacement open Back Rack ( Cabinet, actually).
I feel I wasted the $ on the Mytek and Lampizator Euforia.

I can't wait for Sony's replacement, Z2???
