what sources does hqplayer resample? is it purely for listening to files?

Local and network shared files, Qobuz, and Roon can output anything it plays to it as well.

how does the chain work in this roon/hqplayer configuration?
roon server -> hq player server -> roon endpoint or how?
this would be definitely a plus point even if would like to avoid roon for subscription reasons..

I noticed that while ASDM7EC-super seems to pair best with Susvara, with TC I still prefer ASDM7ECv3. I mainly listen to very fast music, like metal, with TC and ECv3 feels like a faster/snappier filter.

So last few weeks I've concluded that I prefer PCM to DSD on the May, contrary to Jussi's opinion which is that PCM sounds "flat, congested and messy in the treble".
My theory was that it is because he has the Holo Spring 3, which has a DSD section similar to the May but the PCM section can't touch the May's performance.
Anyways this is all speculating, the reason i'm posting here is that, while I currently prefer PCM to DSD256 and DSD512, I've had various people here and in the Audiophilestyle thread suggest to me that the DSD performance at DSD1024 is really on another level.
I've been hesitant about this too since Jussi has stated that you should pick the best modulator first and then find the sample rate which your PC allows you to run it at. However yesterday I spent the evening A/B'ing various genres between PCM and DSD1024 using AMSDM7 512+fs, and I think I can finally hear the magic! Bass is much more defined and there's this fantastic "air" around instruments, enhancing separation and staging. The air is something people mentioned but I think the bass is the real winner here! Susvara doesn't have harman bass so in order for it to be present it needs to be well defined and not muddy/flabby/diffuse.
Now I'm debating between an overclocked 13900k so I can do ASDM7v3 at DSD1024 or holding out till 14th gen.

My theory is that Jussi is using speakers and headphones benefit more from the increased soundstage that the higher DSD rate provides.

Welcome to the magic!
EC takes it another step further and I hope you get to experience it someday.
Just FYI, 13900K will require a decent graphics card for ASDM7ECV3 @ 1024 rates, at least in my setup it will not do it on the igpu alone.
Not an issue for me as I found I preferred AMSDM7EC 512+fs and hires lp filter without the need of external gpu.

Actually, I take that back... v3 will play at 44.1x1024 with hires lp but stutters after some time. 7EC Light does work though at 44.1x1024.
Here are some notes when I tested on HQP5 Embedded. While v3 played without hiccup, I still preferred using HQP5 Desktop with AMSDM7EC 512+fs.

Do u guy know how to setup qobuz on hqplayer client ? I can only see localhost option.

After selecting localhost click on the left to "album view". Then there's a drop-down menu that says "library" and when you click it you can select Qobuz.

I did choose album view but click on drop down menu is nothing. Am I missing some application or plug in required? Using mac os 12

I am new with HQP and I am trying different configurations between PCM and DSD, I really dont know what I am doing. I find the DSD quite warmer than PCM, dont know if it is my imagination or the parameters am using. Does anyone know any guide for dummies that explain what each filter do in an easy way?
fe. this is what I am using right now:
PCM
DSD

There be a manual in the folder that gives descriptions, but I threw it out and just went with my ears and feelings.
