![]() That’s not where you want to be as a company!Īs for your price, it doubled with HQP 4, so it’s reasonable that some customers might question that. I’d say that about half the people I recommend HQP to report back that they tried for an hour to setup it, couldn’t figure it out, and couldn’t understand the manual, and quit never to return. To my thinking, having it written in a more accessible way is going to improve your sales. I hope you wouldn’t view its professional rewriting as some lavish perk demanded by fussy HQP users. ![]() I’ve heard rumors about HQP 4 client, but when I go to your website, I can’t find any information about it. The only difference being in HQP all the settings have been moved to Preferences, I can’t change filters/ dither in the main window. ![]() I have HQP 3 licensed, and the HQP 4 trial which I will soon convert to a paid version. My system has made my toes tap for more than a decade, beyond that easy access to my music is all that matters.” “You asked “When the world is not peaking in, when its just you in your lab, what is the advice and opinion your give yourself on these matters?” I have no problem with others having different priorities but I don’t like the interface on most streamers and I can completely enjoy the music with just my laptop, my library and a USB cable and hub. I suspect you can narrow down the selection of streamers pretty quickly if you can ask if they think that the quality of the ethernet cable matters… Those that can’t hear the differences with various cables or that think that their component/system is perfect are very unlikely to build a great sounding system.“ and others have some serious custom design behind them. I do think that building a great streamer is much harder than most appreciate, that some of them out there are little more than some commonly available boards, etc. I don’t want my system connected to the net. I want a system where I can grab a (hopefully small) stack of drives and play my music anywhere. I want an interface that let’s me navigate my music in the entirely ad hoc manners I’m used to. Personally I don’t want a system that uses DLNA, UPnP, etc. Some seem to just want someone to tell them that their choices are best. Some want a system that that sounds as good as it can, but don’t want to make a lot of decisions. ![]() Some have a lot of fun from putting their own systems together. ![]() “ Sorry, I still think that value is in the eyes of the ultimate consumer. Here’s a recent Paul video regarding his view on the Mac Mini and his preference for the direct USB connection to the DirectStream ( )Īnd rather than me paraphrase Ted, here’s what he wrote a couple of weeks ago to my question regarding streamers: And since both are involved in developing high end gear, I found that interesting. The don’t poo poo them, just go a different way. I have read at length on these sorts of forums about how great they are, and how evil a direct computer connection is, so I was surprised to see these two experts not be all that into them. I have no personal position on streamers as I’ve never tried one. I too have a Matrix and FWIW, the USB connection into my Matrix is data only, and I2S is reputed to be best for the DS. Ted does use the Matrix, but I think its just for the variety of outputs for his testing. ![]()
