HQPlayer NAA set-up?

Audio Gear Talk HQ Player

Hello team.

I’ve just bought my first preamp and power amp seperates. To replace my fantastic Rega elicit R. But I’m not using my HQPlayer chain yet. I’m gonna have to purchase HQP 5, set up my NAA’ s again. Is there a walk through? It’s been a couple of years since I did it last.

Also is there a current cheapest/simplest way to get Apple Music running through HQP, without me scrolling through 1000 pages of that thread.

:smiley: thanks

Cheapest and simplest is to use Black Hole loopback driver and Lossless Switcher application together with HQPlayer. HQPlayer installation package comes with a control script for Lossless Switcher that can be specified through Lossless Switcher’s menu. Although this script may not be strictly necessary anymore.

Another alternative is to use iOS device output through input NAA, using RPi4. For that, there are instructions at the end of that thread, so no need to go through the entire thread.
