It reads like I can use one iOS decision to control another
I hope the UI isn’t different. Need to test or find more screenshots
Having HQplayer Desktop and Embedded license, I wonder if possible for a future update that the Embedded version could share desktop music library 
. Just like a Minimal Server solution for HQplayer Ecosystem (Audio Source HQplayer Desktop Library to HQplayer Embedded)
Just share the content from the machine hosting Desktop to the one with Embedded using SMB/CIFS?
Ok!! Will check out on Mac
Hi.
The more I use Qobuz, the more I realize that the “roon version” is not giving me full access to its functions and convenience.
I remember someone suggesting that I use a wired iPad for this, and I would like to know how to set it up.
I wish I could do it wirelessly, but if a wired connection is the easier way to do it, I’ll bear with it.
At least, I won’t have to worry about having a low battery on the iPad.
Are you a HQPlayer user? Or you just want Qobuz playing bit perfectly to your USB DAC?
I am a HQPlayer user.
I added RME HDSPe AIO Pro to the Windows computer that serves as a network player before.
HQPe is on a separate computer.

Starting from the source, you need a DDC connected to iPad, I’m using Matrix Audio X-SPDIF2 and AES/EBU connection to HDSPe AIO, but there are many other options as well (cheaper too). Singxer F1 works as well, it is coaxial S/PDIF device.
Then from HDSPe AIO control panel, set the clock slaved to the digital input where the DDC is connected.
You need to run networkaudiod (NAA) on the Windows computer.
Then as last step, you need to add configure the NAA + HDSPe AIO combination as input device in HQPlayer Embedded. For this you need to edit /etc/hqplayer/hqplayerd.xml configuration file manually. For the “network” backend, address is name of the NAA (you can configure this in the startup .bat) and device is the RME ASIO driver name, which I don’t remember right now from top of my head. Set samplerate to 0. You will also need to configure channel offset to match the correct input. Offset 0 is analog inputs on AIO, then it goes from there with the digital inputs.
If you install HQPlayer Desktop trial on the Windows computer, you can get the ASIO driver name and correct channels from the log file. But the networkaudiod will also spit out the channel information once you get as far as getting HQPlayer connected and the ASIO driver loaded.
Thank you very much!
I’ll go step by step.
I might have an extra DDC I used before. I’ll see if that works first. 
I found something similar to Singxer F-1 in my storage, so I plan to use this one.
Hopefully, the iPad will provide enough power to run the device.
I already use the optical input for another source, so I’ll use the coaxial input for this.
I have to get to the rear side of the computer, so the rest will be done tomorrow.
Thanks again for your help!
I managed to make it work, and now I can fully enjoy Qobuz.
I’ll probably purchase another HQPe license next month so that it will be easier to sync music in my study.
PS. The device in my previous post wasn’t stable – it started not to follow the input fs and sticked to 32kHz after an hour or two.
I’ll pull out the Singxer SU-6, which I used before Holo RED, and that one should be more stable, if a larger machine.
PS2. Singxer SU-6 didn’t work at all for some reason. Never made it to play any sound.
So, I’ll basically use Qobuz on roon unless I find a convenient and okay-quality Qobuz Connect supporting device.
PS3. I am considering introducing a streamer for Qobuz Connect.
(message partly deleted due to resolved content)
PS4. After some thought, I introduced SMSL’s PO100 PRO, and it seems stable so far.
I’m lucky to have an extra iPad mini, which I can dedicate to Qobuz playback.
Now, I’m ready to enjoy more music!

Question
Is it possible
Wiim Pro SPIF out → USBStreamer B → Intona → CPU Alsa Ubuntu USB interface for HQplayer Embedded?
I’m only missing “USBStreamer B” , found it at second hand local market.
Want to make sure before buying it
All depends What are you wanting to stream with Wiim? Fixed sample rate or changing?
Definitely don’t need Intona for server input
Changing rate (I think MiniDSP streamer b supports it?)
Got a spare Intona laying around 
Doesn’t support auto switching sample rate

Ah! Bummer just saw this. Hopefully the DNLA cast feature is available soon

Thank you very much for mentioning this, I was considering getting the AH90 for DSD512 playback, it’s crazy that manufacturers don’t mention this.
Does that also apply to the AK4493? I liked the AH90 streamer perk, but I could give it up and get an ADI-2 Pro FS R Black Edition instead.
Is also limited to a top rate of DSD256 in DSD Bypass mode. It sounds great though!
Couldn’t find a more appropriate thread for my question so here i am…
I have managed to get up and running ravenna-alsa daemon on ubuntu, the web interface also is working. Also i have installed Merging Ravenna/AES67 on MacStudio. Since i do not own Merging hardware, i have bought a standart licence from neumann/sennheiser for Merging VAD.
Everything seams to work, Merging Ravenna/AES67 is present in system setting, ANEMAN is working, the licence is activated… what i can not understand: shouldnt there be a virtual sound card to make default output to ? like blackhole for example ? because there isnt. When i try to make connections in ANEMAN i get an error: Audio missing from all available streams.
The task is pretty simple… i need to stream from MacStudio to an USB audio device on Linux.
No, IIRC, it works also at DSD512. The actual D/A conversion section is totally different on AK4499 (EX and EQ) compared to all earlier AKM chips like AK4490 and AK4493.
So far I’ve had nicest DSD performance from AK4490.
