RE: Using JRiver 19 to convert standard 44.1/16 wav to DSD

I have an older Intel core i5 and a Mytek DAC that goes up to DSD128. I use HQPlayer to do room correction on DSD64 without downsampling, but I run out of CPU if I try to output at DSD128. I can do room correction up to 352.8 and output the result at DSD128. (I use poly-sinc-shrt-mp and DSD 7.) I can hear my CPU fan on warm days, so I don't normally upsample to DSD when playing PCM in the summer.

One thing I've noted is that the version of HQPlayer that I've been using, Desktop 2.10.0 ASIO, sometimes does not give any error indication when it runs out of CPU, just an audible glitch. Apparently HQPlayer sends something on to the USBPAL driver for my Mytek, because when this happens no errors are counted by USBPAL (assuming there are adequate buffers configured on the control panel, not to be confused with the HQPlayer buffer time). I consider the lack of an error indication to be a minor bug, but I'm not sure whether this is a bug in HQPlayer or in the USBPAL driver.
