How-to configure MERGING+NADAC with HQPlayer on Windows OS ?

Info

Merging Audio Device driver users :
Merging recommends you set your Main Media Player as Master ASIO Host in the Merging Audio Device panel, to avoid untimely sampling rate changes from other players.
Image Added
If you want to run at a fixed sampling rate, then please set Merging Audio Device as your Master ASIO Host.  In such case you may need to configure your Media Player to convert to the set sampling rate.
When your MERGING+ device is in DSD sampling rate, the driver mixing features are disabled, and the WDM audio is not available.


Info

Prerequisite

The Merging Audio Device driver or MERGING+NADAC ASIO driver, is installed and configured
Signalyst HQPlayer is installed http://www.signalyst.com/consumer.html
