HQPlayer Pro is a high-quality upsampling multichannel audio file converter, recorder, and player for Windows, macOS, and Linux. HQPlayer features several user-selectable high-quality
upsampling and downsampling algorithms as well as selectable dither, noise shaping, and modulator algorithms (delta-sigma modulators).
It is mainly intended as a mastering post-production tool for producing high-quality final distribution files in various formats. Any of the supported source formats can be converted to any of the supported destination formats. For example, DXD intermediate format can be converted to both PCM and DSD outputs. Recording and playback are also supported in both PCM and SDM (DSD) formats. The playback feature also allows monitoring of the final output format during conversion and recording, monitoring can be enabled/disabled on the fly.
All modern DACs employ oversampling and delta-sigma modulation, however, the hardware implementations are more or less resource-constrained. Higher quality oversampling and delta-sigma modulation can be done by utilizing the vast amount of processing power available in modern PCs. Many AVRs also resample internally to 48, 96 or 192 kHz, with the HQPlayer, these can be fed at the native rate.
HQPlayer Pro also includes a pipeline matrix for performing channel routing, mixing and gain adjustments, including a convolution engine for applying advanced equalization or other kinds of effects.
Supported source formats: CDDA (Audio CD), FLAC, DSDIFF (DFF, non-compressed), DSF, RIFF (WAV, including DXD/RF64), AIFF, RAW streams, Realtime audio inputs.
Supported playlist formats: M3U/M3U8, PLS.
Resampling filters: 13 linear phases, two intermediate phases, eight minimum phase, three impulses optimal, three closed forms.
Dithers and noise-shapers: four dithers five noise shapers.
Delta-Sigma conversion:11 modulators, 30 oversampling filters (64x - 2048x), Direct rate conversions (2 algorithms), Digital volume control, Convolution engine, routing and mixing.
External control applications: HQPDcontrol, Roon, muso, Alchemy Desktop.
