Hello
when launching Hqplayer after Roon I get an error message see screenshot 2
the first screenshot is the current setting
on the second screen
attached the message :
Your Last stored volume setting is lower than default volume and volume control is disable beacause direct SDMis enabled 
Pleasecheck your settings and volume before starting playback
Screen 3 DSD Settings
Thank you for your answer

Change maximum volume to -2 dBFS, or disable DirectSDM. DirectSDM sets fixed volume to tiny bit higher than -3 dBFS.
Hello
I am attaching the new settings for DSD 256, I no longer have the error message
in the screenshot 1
I wanted to know where I indicated with a red arrow if it is Ok for you ?
in screen 2
where the red arrows are indicated, should they be left unchecked?
this is the path of the Roon/HQplayer signal
it seems to be good for DSD ?
Last question
I tried the ASDM7EC. In dsd 256 it cuts every 3 seconds instead of the ASDM7 in 256
how to do it ?
Thank you for your feedback
The EC modulators are computationally demanding and require a powerful processor to handle DSD 256 rates. What sort of processor are you using for HQ Player ?
You could try ASDM5EC or dropping down to DSD 128.
Hello
It is a core I5 10500T processor with a TDP of 35 Watt for its low consumption side
This rather explains that.
Since poly-sinc-ext2 + ASDM7EC to DSD256 works on my i5-7600T (under Linux), I think it should also work on i5-10500T even better. Unless overhead of Windows plus other stuff is enough to make it not work. Even in such case it could be that ASDM5EC would work.
