[QUOTE="Drifter, post: 866380, member: 13448"] Pretty much as I understand it. As long as your DAC is capable of playing back hirez files i.e. above 16bit / 44.1Khz or whatever you set HQplayer up to upscale the files to. People use it mostly to unfold MQA files. Roon allows the first step of unfolding MQA, your DAC must do the second step. If you don't have a MQA compliant DAC, HQplayer can perform this. It can also upsample standard 44.1 Khz FLAC files to higher resolution or even DSD etc. I'm with the Schiit guys on this, I fail to hear any benefit from DSD or MQA both through my main system or my headphones.
