Best CPU for hqplayer

Do these HQPlayer settings preclude you from running other tasks (email, web browsing) at the same time or cause system instability?

With Intel CPUs containing their own integrated graphics one can set applications like web browser to use Intel graphics and thus to free maximum CUDA resources for HQPlayer. I explained it more times in the past and included also some pictures.

Could you please provide a link?

Thanks, Dirk

Thanks @bogi, however my CPU (i12900KF) has no integrated graphics.

You can set graphics adapter of your choice for specific applications which usually run when you are using HQPlayer.

It is also possible to do that setup in nVidia Control Panel. See https://techwiser.com/set-default-graphics-on-windows-11/


 

'afternoon

New red team cpu tested:

Threadripper 7960x 24C/48T

Asus TRx50 sage

4x32Gb ECC R-DIMM(quad channel)

BIOS default settings(don t have enough cooling and power yet)

DSD512 + dac correction on both HQP OS and windows,no CUDA offload.

Gauss hires mp

Sinc Mga

7EC-super 512+fs

I ll be back with OC results in about 2 weeks,but i think it won t do 1024 with dac correction by it self,maybe next threadripper on zen5 with quad avx512 output.

Tough job

CUDA offload to RTX A4000

It’s nice to know the A4000 can keep up.

it does pretty well so long u don't crazy about the difficult filters...

With help of RTX2080

… interesting … Which model exactly?

It is the original Founder's Edition manufactured by ASUS. So it looks exactly like the ones in Nvidia's pictures (one barrel fan at the end).

Now Intel seems to be finally getting the 13th/14th Gen issue fixed:

Thanks for noting that. Going to update BIOS today.

Without GPU, maximum 13900T can do is DSD256. While 14900K can just barely keep up with DSD512 with ASDM7EC-light, super is too much:

 

This is with E-cores set to filter.

 

With help of RTX2080 the 13900T can do DSD512 with ASDM7EC-super 512+fs with DAC corrections easily.

 

Wow, these results are very surprising. I assumed 13900T would easily do DSD512 since my i5-12500 (non-T model though) with 2x8gb of DDR5 4800mhz RAM can do DSD512x48 with poly-sinc-gauss-long/poly-sinc-gauss-hires-lp and ASDM7EC-super 512+fs. i9-13900T, according to various benchmarks all over internet, should be a clearly faster CPU than i5-12500. I'm also very surprised that 14900K struggles with DSD512, it should be a walk in the park for that CPU. 

I'm also running DSP correction (convolution filters for L+R channels) and still DSD512x48 works quite easily. With ASDM7EC-light 512+fs my machine isn't even struggling. With -super it's close to the maximum my server can do but still no dropouts if I don't do anything else with the server machine while listening to music. 

With DAC correction on, I can do DSD256x48 with default filters and ADM7EC-super. I guess my Lenovo Thinkcentre m90q Tiny Gen 3 server machine works very well then. Only optimisation I've done is that I run Atlas OS version of Win11 Pro. It's a highly optimised Windows-version, mostly for gamers. In HQP settings I've set Buffer to 10ms, DSP pipelines to 2 and Blocks per cycle to 4. If blocks per cycle is a high number, like 12, I get dropouts. 

Now I'm little worried that DSD512x48 with DAC correction on isn't even possible without CUDA offload.

Yeah, as mentioned earlier. Without DAC correction (and without CUDA), 13900T can do DSD1024 with ASDM7EC-light and same settings. And 14900K can do DSD1024 with ASDM7EC-super. So DAC correction at least doubles the load, without help of CUDA. Nvidia GPUs scale better and the difference is not as drastic with GPU offload.

Both of these machines have the same DDR5-6400 CL32 RAM (G.Skill).

Ah, nevermind. I misread your original post. Now it makes a lot more sense :)

It’s still surprising though that DSD1024 runs with 13900T but then DSD512 + correction doesn’t. I’ve had quite similar loads with DSD256 + correction and DSD512 + no correction. Thanks for testing!
