But other companies have a similar business model as Autodesk’s in that they create and sell different software. As Scan2CAD, we have compared several Autodesk products in previous posts, e.g., AutoCAD and Fusion 360 and AutoCAD and Inventor. That statement has likely taken your mind to the numerous products under Autodesk, understandably so. In the end - I’m having a lot of fun and really enjoying the music with HQPlayer! As my audio kit scales I’m looking forward to upgrading HQPlayer (and the server it runs on).The CAD, CAM, and CAE world comprises multiple software products, some of which are created by the same developer. So I’ve chosen DSD256 and the lighter loading of ext2 filter. If anyone even touches the Mac Mini while running this it’ll glitch for me. But in the end, even at DSD128 the loading of the gauss filters with 48kHz source material is too high. For me there’s something special about using the EC modulator.ĭSD rate has been a back-and-forth struggle, going between DSD128 and DSD256 to free up resources.
Even though I love the gauss-xla filter, running it with a non-EC modulator doesn’t sound as good to my ear. I’ve stuck with ASDM7EC because I like the balance of ext2 filter with EC modulator. And at higher sampling rate source material I feel like the filter is less important, so I’ve not stressed this as much. I run the poly-sinc-lp-2s for Nx filter because it keeps my overall CPU loading similar between 1x and Nx source files. But for some reason the gauss filter is much more resource intensive when crossing over between 48kHz and 44.1kHz sampling frequency. My understanding is that the root of the issue is my DAC can’t handle 48kHz DSD, so HQPlayer is having to work with a non-multiple of the base sampling frequency.
Going to ext2 the resource difference between 44.1kHz and 48kHz is much smaller. But for me it is a serious resource hog with 48/24. (Between 200% and 250% CPU utilization, going from 44.1/16 to 192/24.) I can play any file without having to think about going back and changing my HQPlayer settings to avoid glitching/stuttering.įirst off, I love the sound of gauss-xla with ASDM7EC! It runs reasonably smooth with 44.1/16 source material. I’ve settled on these DSD settings because on my Mac Mini they have fairly consistent resource utilization across sampling rates and bit depths.
