Just got my new UP Board Gateway mini computer (UP gateway, ATOM x5-Z8350 [4G RAM, 32G eMMC w/ VESA plate]) and I booted it up from USB stick with naa-431-x64ramfs.7z -image. Everything seemed to be working fine, but then I tried to change from PCM to DSD in HQ Player preferences. Setting was changed from PCM to DSD and after clicking Ok there is no error message, but when starting to play music from Roon it is plying as PCM. Going back to HQ Player preferences Default Output Mode is still SDM (DSD), starting the music again and itās still playing as PCM.
What is causing this? Do I have wrong NAA image for UP gateway or wrong settings or what? Switching between PCM and DSD with same settings was working fine with Allo USBridge Sig and Sonore ultraRendu
If setting āSDM Packā to DoP, it seems to work, but I will get only DSD128x48 instead of DSD256x48 what I was getting earlier with those other devices working as NAA
So is it so that I will not get native DSD with this set-up?
I was also trying 44.1k x 256 rate and disabling adaptive output rate, but it wonāt work either, this time HQ Player is trying to play DSD, but getās jammed and never starts playing.
So it seems that I can either have PCM up to 384 or DSD128x48 with this set-up which is a bit dissappointing since I was getting DSD256x48 with Sonore and Allo
Latest HQPlayer OS supports QX-5 Twenty. If QB-9 Twenty has same USB interface, it could work with the same driver mod.
You could try with latest HQPlayer OS image used as a NAA (it contains NAA support along with HQPlayer Embedded). If that doesnāt work, contact me over email and I can give some instructions to fetch needed information so I could add support for it.
One question though, since Iām not familiar with the differencies of the different images, so I just wanted to check which image I should use for UpBoard Gateway, hqplayer-embedded-4.34.1-x64avx2.7z or
hqplayer-embedded-4.34.1-x64sse42.7z?
