This is a little off topic but where is the Album Mastering screen at the bottom of your post from?

@Dave_Richardson

Thanks, it was new to me. Hadn’t seen it before.

How bad can something get? Encountered one of the highest Apod counter figures so far (this one from Tidal):

Right now Saturday night with Embedded on macOS Tahoe (MacBook Pro M1Max):

This one with BubbleUPnP on Android as controller, over UPnP, from Tidal as well.

Really good filter for Internet radio.

Hi @jussi_laako thank you very much for 6. I dare say the SQ is better than 5’s, whatever is the rational (sw optimisation?)

However I think i could listen to my few dsd 256 files going down to lower sdm modulators. Not sure But for sure i now have to convert to pcm with my M1 max studio Music being jazz i convert to sinc long h @ 705 (can t do 1.4) lns 15 via wec2 pcm noise filter and poly short lp conversion. Fine or you have a better suggestion, Holo May being my dac ?

Also do you have a upnp solution for radio from the ipad (client 5 works but 6 will be welcome for the extra cutting filters). At the moment I installed foobar2000 on the studio but it s not better than getting the internet flow via blackhole. Is it ?

[IgorSki]

running streaming services and radios via HQP is always facsinating. out of curiosity - did you try “mp3” filters as well?

[Darthspader]

I did. I actually prefer the hires family for my use case. I listen mostly to DI.FM, and to my ears it improves transients and smooths out some of the harshness in the upper frequencies.

I forgot to mention convolution and dac correction forcing me to convert dsd 256 sources to pcm for my Holo May via my Mac studio M1 max . So for jazz what are the best settings for dsd 256 to pcm conversion ?
