For a two box set-up using Roon+HQPlayer use the dedicated pre-set, this enables both

Inside HQPlayer Set-Up
Use Network Audio and tick Auto Rate Family
Set the PCM bit-rate so that it is not higher than your DAC can handle

Get the IP Address of your server from the dashboard
Inside Roon, go to Settings / Setup / HQPlayer - add the IP address of your Server to the add HQPlayer pop out box
