#Hqplayer price software
In my case, with the NAA board and the UPnP board, and now the Core board installed, the LinQ offers room for yet one more interface module.īasically, the new Core module replaces the HQPlayer Embedded software part that normally runs on the Music Server (or, potentially, a third computer device). The Core module can be inserted in every slot. Further, since HQPlayer is an independent piece of software that can run on any system, the compatibility is not limited to Roon. HQPlayer compatibility is built into Roon as standard and because the LinQ does not implement the RAAT protocol, no Roon certification is required. Rather than being dependent on market fashion or requirements by external parties such as Roon, Aqua has chosen to make its product immune to obsolescence. The new module promises zero-config, no-hassle, true Plug & Play, Roon compatibility. It operates with a custom lightweight UNIX-based kernel to achieve faster response times and, apparently, even better sound quality.

The new Core interface module consists of two cascaded boards, of which the smaller one under the heatsink is the new i.MX8 ARM 64 bit micro System on Module, which is a high-class industrial computer module, chosen by Aqua for its performance and efficiency. Meanwhile, work was being done to perfect the HQPlayer Core module and by the end of March this year, the module was released. Shortly thereafter, work began on creating modules to support Squeezelite and Airplay. A few months later, following marketing analysis and some tough internal decision-making, Roon RAAT was dropped and the HQPlayer NAA-Renderer module (player-only) was introduced, enabling Roon functionality not via RAAT but via an HQPlayer NAA stream. Of all the Aqua products that I own and have used, however, the LinQ is probably the best example.Īt its introduction in June 2020, two interface modules were available for the LinQ: Roon RAAT and UPnP. Over the years and through several updates, Aqua has proven that this concept works fabulously.
