Hi, I own a LinQ with HQPlayer embedded which keep crashing while selecting different setup on filters etc, every time I need to restore default config to make it working again. The HQP actual version installed is the 1.6 and from the GUI there are no update available, is that correct? While checking the version inside I see a 4.18.3 if I remember well, there is any method to update it? Thank you in advance
You should ask Aqua about that … anyway … isn’t the HQP Core + NAA module just a “workaround” to let customers use the LinQ as a Roon endpoint because the device isn’t Roon certified?
… and reading the LinQ page they explicitly state that the module is not aimed at DSP …
Sorry Stefano I’m not getting the point about the DSP etc, likely it is a workaround but it is not the point here. I already wrote to Aqua and got no answer, for this reason I’m trying here as I’m stuck in the between and Aqua stuff isn’t cheap.
As far as I can understand no upsampling features should be used in LinQ HQP Core configuration … HQP is there only to allow the use as Roon endpoint … the processor of the HQP Core module does not seem particularly powerful to allow upsampling with HQP
Thanks Stefano, now it’s clear to me. Actually “it is not aimed” doesn’t mean it is not possible, some kind of upsampling actually is done perfectly by the LinQ with the HQP embedded, it is just a question of stability of the platform while selecting something like the FIR filter which is not allowed crashing the player. Hope someone will make clear why of this behaviour here.
Bonjour, il est tout à fait possible de suréchantilloner le linq, voila mes réglages pour le linq, c’est sur que l’on ne peut pas utiliser les paramètres les plus gourmants en cpu

I think that and some understanding of the new “light” and “super” and “512+fs” versions of the EC modulators would be helpful. For example, for a given modulator like ASDM7ECxx, is “super” >> v2 or v3 or just different? My head is spinning with all of the new variants!
The new light/super and new designs, almost from scratch, although they have some family connection still. While v3 is evolution from the earlier ones. “light” is designed to use as little CPU power as possible while maintaining no compromise technical performance. “super” is the same, but made as good as possible without considering CPU load (it is still not bad on that).
People were asking me for a lighter variant of EC modulators that could run on smaller CPUs and also work great for multichannel use cases. “light” ones are answer to that call. But do not underestimate “light” ones, they are are actually really really good! Sometimes I like those the most.
For example, if you are running HQPlayer on a laptop with battery power and you want best possible quality, “light” is the answer. OTOH, the unexpected feature I experienced during the design was all the grunt, drive and kick “light” can provide (in this case in particular through Gustard A26). While “super” has the final finesse on the sensitive tracks.
