The chosen player will be used for the rest of the test.
HQPlayer’s trial allows you to use the software for 30 minutes at a time for 30 days. I’ll be testing HQPlayer 4.10.3 and Roon Core/Remote 1.8 Build 764 (64 bit). So is HQPlayer too good to be true? Let’s find out. I’ve tried Roon’s upsampling feature and it wasn’t great (sounds better without it). If I could save a ton of money and have one less box, power supply, and cable to worry about…why the hell not. I’m setting up a new listening room so I figured this was worth looking into. I received many emails requesting a review of HQPlayer: A $260 piece of software that is potentially better than the $5,000 Chord Electronics Hugo M Scaler.
