Dear Keet,

as player I use the HQPlayer. As you can imagine a lot of computing power helps a lot, especially since the converter (Denafrips Pontus) also processes DSD. Makes itself sonically very leasantly noticeable. Problem: I could offload some of the computations to the Nvidia card GPU if, yes if it had enough computing power. According to the HQPlayer manual, a computing power greater than 5 is required, but my card can only do 3. That’s why it’s not even triggered. Now the moon prices come into play, which are demanded lately for Nvidia cards, if you can buy them at all. All “shelves” are empty and my piggy bank too….

So I came across the Fidelizer program and — taadaaah — the HQPlayer plays “at the next level”. Of course, this is no substitute for a new stronger graphics card, but for now it’s the best and cheapest solution. My computer (CPU alone) now manages a resolution of 4 X DSD vs. 41.8 X 256 oversampling smoothly. The converter can process data up to 41.8 X 1024, so there is still enough air left to go up.

Thanks for the good product
