HQPlayer5 Embedded?

Support

I guess we are waiting for HQP5 to be tested by your team, Mark, before it upgrades itself?

My understanding is that Hq player updates are only done when there is a general update on antipodes software —

We are guided by the OS support offered by Signalyst.
As such this will be a wee wait.

Is there an update on when the latest version of HQP will be incorporated into the Antipodes ‘HQP plus Roon’ option?

Signalyst has in their wisdom, stopped supporting Fedora versions pre-Fedora 37.
All Antipodes servers will require a kernel update for HQP5 to be compatible.
We anticipate this to be available on AMSv5.1
We are in the process of readying AMSv5.0 for release…

Heck of a series of updates! I’m really excited about the improved PGGB support. :grinning:

Excited for the update! Curious if my CX & EX are, or are not, AVX machines… I use HQ player with Roon solely so I’m not sure if this would impact me or how….

Thanks!
