HQP on High Sierra - Can it run the newest version of HQP?

Yup. I’m in the same boat. I just recently asked jussi about this.

No, generally macOS is supported for latest and latest - 1 versions. So you should stay up to date with macOS, at least up to latest - 1.

I’ve actually found on 10.13.6, v3.25 hqp with a i7 4790k and a TitanX I am able to run the extremely demanding poly-sync-xtr ASDM7 @ 44.1k 256 if I check multicore dsp and uncheck CUDA. Processor usage is at ~40-44% usually. Even if I could upgrade to v4 on this machine I can almost guarantee it will not work with the new EC modulators.

My findings for hqp v4 on win 10 core i9 9900k with a titan x. The CUDA in titan x is not powerful enough. But I did get all filters working for me at DSD256 playback.

I got around to messing with v4 again on the i9 machine. I set Multicore to grayed and everything I tried worked. Except when Cuda was enabled. It actually is less glitchy without cuda, guess my titan x is getting old. With hyperthreading I realize the processor usage percent will be off but wouldn’t 50% represent maxed out on all the main cores. It jumps to 48% on the initial start of playback when it is quickly buffering and then it seems to throttle back once it get…
