Signalyst HQPlayer Embedded is a headless, software-based high-end audio player and digital signal-processing engine intended for dedicated music servers, network players, and digital audio processors. It runs as a Linux-based service controlled through a web interface or compatible remote client, rather than as a conventional desktop application. It can play local and network audio, accept selected real-time digital or analog inputs through supported hardware, perform extensive PCM and DSD resampling and conversion, apply convolution, room correction, parametric equalization, RIAA equalization, routing, mixing, and digital volume control, and send processed audio to USB DACs, compatible audio interfaces, or Signalyst Network Audio Adapter endpoints. It supports UPnP AV Media Renderer operation and is also available preinstalled on selected hardware from manufacturers including Antipodes, SOtM, Small Green Computer, and Pink Faun. A licensed installation is required for unrestricted operation; the software can operate in trial mode for 30 minutes at a time before restart.
