Roon+HQPlayer crashing my MacMini

Audio Gear Talk HQ Player
1

I need your help, when I try to play PCM or DSD files using Roon+HQPlayer my Mac Mini crash after a few second of playing the file other time it play one song, two and then crash again… This only happen under Roon+HQplayer.
Roon directly to my Dac: no problem
HQPlayer alone no problem
the above behavior happen with all filters and upsampling choices… I have the later Roon and HQPlayer(registered copy)

Thank you.

Jorge,

I moved your duplicate post here and deleted it. Someone should be able to help you from here.

Sorry, I’m not an HQPlayer guy, so I can’t help.

Cheers, Greg

Hi-

Setup HQP and Roon + HQP not to upsample, just to playback directly. If you have DSD files, be sure to check “direct SDM” - then DSD files aren’t altered.
If this works without problems, it indicates the problem is the ability of the Mini to handle the upsampling.
