Mitcho, I have read in the past, articles you have written regarding Dirac Live. I am wondering if you have any insight on there addition of Bass Control. I am currently using it with the stand alone version on a windows machine. My current setup in my dedicated room with judicious treatment, is a 2.5 multichannel setup. I really like how well the bass interfaces with left and right speakers adding a solid foundation in the lower frequencies. Would I do better seeking out a professional as Chris suggest, or staying with the Dirac route as a good alternative? Thank you Sam

Thank you for the the reply!

I am enjoying the Embedded OS with JPLAY OS for Qobuz and minim server for my local files. My question regarding licensing/fingerprint- When I bought my license for the embedded version I was using my SoTM usb card. Later I switched it out to a Ethernet card. I noticed the OS reverted back to trial. I had to ask for a new key! Finally to my question- if I were to revert back to using usb would I be able to switch back to my original key (when using usb and vice versa to my ethernet card? Or do I need to buy Dongle? Thanks, Sam

Thank you I did what you ask! Appreciate it. Sam

Ok I really messed up this time. I just bought the embedded version after 6 days of trial (many late nights trying to make it work) But when I bought the license, it asked for my signature key, I assumed it was my Desktop version (I did not know that the trial version came with it’s own) This is why now I think my embedded key will not work. Miska I am very sorry to mess things up for you. What do we need to do to straighten this issue up. Thanks Sam.

Checking in one more time! The embedded OS is working great with JPlay IOS ( I was surprise) What I can’t figured out is why the convolution will not except the same left and right mono Wav files that I used in the desktop version. The way I was able to export the files was by sending the two file to my email address, which I was able to open them up on my iPad to send them to my file folder. Could that be why they are not working? Is there another way to get access to the audio files to Hq embedded ? Thanks, Sam

Yes it works! After re-flashing the usb drive everything works as it should. Now I need to figure out how to setup the SoTm-200 so that I can use JPlay iOS as UPLn. Thanks to all for all your help, I have learn a lot, and so much more know. Sam

I spent several hours trying to get it play with no success. I am going to re-flash and try again. Once loaded is there any settings I need to change before playing a file? Sam

It fails to play! On the monitor it saids “audio device cannot find UCD. Miska do you have some settings I can try. For what it’s worth when using the Desktop version I was upsampling to 256 using your default settings, modulator ASDM7EC Light. My DAC is a Topping 70D’s.

I’ve given up on using SoTm-200, could not get it to work. I will come back to it at a later time. In the mean time I am connecting directly usb to the dac. I am trying to get HQPlayer Client 5 app streaming Qobuz. I am not getting audio, even though the cover art shows up in the OS. The OS sees my dac, but I am not sure if I have everything setup correctly. Do you have any suggestions to what I am doing wrong? Thanks, Sam

Stefano If I am using SoTm-200 can I use Minimserver on it instead of a Nas?

Got it! Man you sure know your stuff, CA and I are very fortunate to have you here. Thank you so much! I am sure I will have Moe questions, but I am starting to see the light😃 Sam

Good day! I managed to burn the HQplayer OS. Everything went as expected (I was surprised) except when it came to imputing the login (HQPlayer) and password (password) nothing happens, the cursor keeps asking for the me to enter the information again. How do I fix this? The other question, is it ok to pull the usb stick for rebooting? Also when I do get the player up and running, am I then able to setup minimserver as a render for JPLAY? Sam

Ok! I will proceed with all this great info,and report back how it turns out. Appreciate the help. Sam

So miska if I install the HQPlayer OS, do I need any other dependencies? Those who knows their way around Linux giving written instructions about the process, is still difficult to know the order of things, no fault to you. But for us who barely know how to work with windows- getting embedded is really difficult- I wish someone could put together a short video showing the process- I would even pay for it- I do appreciate all the information and help that’s provided.
