Hello, a quick trial-exiting question for the experts.
My current setup thus far with Roon and HQPlayer is,
Windows 10 laptop -->> Roon (core) -->> HQPlayer (localhost) DSD256 over ASIO -->> OPPO HA-1
I don’t mind this setup, but i really, really would like to get off the Windows and move over to Mac Mini.
And there was looking into using microRendu, since Mac lacks ASIO to drive native DSD256.
So, the setup i had in mind going forward is,
Mac mini -->> Roon (core) -->> HQPlayer (localhost) -->> NAA microRendu DSD256 --> OPPO HA-1
Downside of this is, i need to buy HQPlayer to run on Mac OS.
And obviously extra hop from HQPlayer to the OPPO HA-1, via the NAA.
I’ve done some reading this weekend, and use of NAA over microRendu with HQPlayer seems to have overall a positive results.
I just wished there was native DSD256 over ASIO on Mac OS that can be used with OPPO HA-1, but i’m just not finding any workable solution there, and prefer to not go over the DoP.
Anyway, thought i would ask here in Roon forum to see if anyone has, is current doing something like above, using Roon on Mac Mini to the HQPlayer and to microRendu.
Thanks much!
