Added support for custom “ALBUMARTIST” tag in FLAC. Improved search with track names. Fixed problem running Linux version on AMD CPUs.

Improved usability of touch interface for mouse use with view flick zones on edges and scroll bar on the cover flow, all together with a small facelift. Setting multicore DSP to enabled now goes full-on with all cores allowing small experimental tuning versus core allocation of auto-mode when operating on the edge of CPU capabilities.…

Both touch and desktop interface can now be kept visible simultaneously when full-screen mode is disabled. CUDA framework update to version 9.2, requires latest display drivers. Various performance optimizations and tunings.

Small bug fixes and performance optimizations.

Small user interface tweaks, support for date metadata for remote control applications, update “invisible” metadata on rescan and number of bug fixes.

Fixes regression with certain types of impulse response WAV files for convolution engine. Adds more metadata fields to the library data for control API purposes.

Fixes and improvements in the control API. CUDA updates and tunings, now it is also possible to offload only convolution engine. Other small improvements and fixes.

Fixes regression on handling 64-bit floating point WAV files. Also fixes closed-form filter misbehavior on certain GPU configurations (1080Ti). Cleans up filter, dither/modulator and rate settings when automatic output mode switching is used, this also cleans up the reported status information towards control applications.

Fixes and extensions to the control API functionality with better support for remote control applications like HQPDcontrol! Support for large RF64 (EBU Tech 3306) WAV files used for hires content. Split HQPlayer configuration and library into separate files making it easier to switch configurations without affecting library. New shortcuts on Windows and Linux for starting HQPlayer…

Optimizations to CPU core usage in automatic multicore DSP mode. Fixes to new control API functions.

Fixes minimum phase filter initialization problem on Windows. Small improvements.

Extended control API functionality, updates, optimizations and bug fixes.

Due to crashes with latest Win10 updates, license management module has been replaced on Windows version, old license keys can be converted to a new key file format. Number of small fixes and improvements on all platforms.

Fixes playlist management regression from 3.16.3.

Fixes crash at application startup after Windows 10 update KB4016871/KB4019472. Plus various minor changes.

Further improved multi-core CPU support and number of small fixes and improvements.

Reliability and performance improvements. Improved support for higher number of CPU cores (8+) and automatic configuration for multicore systems.

Bug fixes and performance improvements. Also a new option in control interface to select transport type.

New poly-sinc-xtr “extreme” filters, update for Linux package forward compatibility, updates and fixes to the control protocol, number of smaller fixes and improvements.

Changes logic when loading items from the library; single click loads item and double click also immediately starts playback of the loaded item. Re-enables CUDA support on macOS and workaround for a case where CUDA freezes in certain environments. Cleans up metadata with extra whitespaces on import.

Transport state persistence over restarts and some bug fixes.

Support for native non-DoP DSD on various DACs, such as iFi and Marantz. Allows DSD256 on iFi iDSD Nano and DSD512 on iFi iDSD Micro.

New CoreAudio and ASIO backends for the Mac OS X version. Possibility to switch backends from the Settings dialog on all platforms. Redesigned “-2s” oversampling filters now offering equivalent technical performance compared to “non-2s” versions. Modulator tuning, especially for highest SDM rates. Number of smaller changes and improvements.

Fixes playlist editing regression. This problem existed only in Windows version.

Fixes regression in DSD-to-PCM conversion settings management. Minor fixes and improvements.

New HF expansion and IR gain estimation algorithms for convolution engine. First release for SolidRun CuBox-i computer. Lot of bug fixes and performance improvements. 32-bit Windows version is now the “Lite” version and can be installed on 64-bit systems too.

HTTP streaming for all the supported formats. Two new delta-sigma modulators optimized for 256x and faster output rates. The “DSD5” modulator is now rate-adaptive. Support for ID3v2 tags in DSDIFF (DFF) files. Touch mode GUI usability improvements. Performance improvements and bug fixes.

Fixes regression introduced with optimizations in 3.1.1. Fixes to some DSD content playback cases. Improvements in metadata handling. Reimplementation of WAV/AIFF handling to facilitate some future features.

Optimizations to improve processing speed of poly-* filters. Also fixes in following areas; dual-wire DoP, DoP over ASIO and dual-wire DoP over NAA.

Adds a set of lighter weight oversampling filters for high oversampling ratios. Also includes some fine tuning of delta-sigma modulators. Two new noise filters for conversion of DSD content to PCM. Fixes a problem with certain multichannel files, namely DSF with 5.0 channels.

Adds support for 64-bit floating point WAV, mostly used for convolution filters with applications like Acourate. Fixes a crash in certain cases with multichannel DSDIFF/DSF files. Some small fixes and fullscreen mode improvements.
