It is hard to believe that there are still people who believe that all bit perfect players sound identical. I've stuck with Audirvana+ and use JRiver as a catalogue and search function. Typically I use a Quad Core i7 Mac Mini and a Micro Rendu with LPS-1 feeding a Metrum Hex DAC. WOW!!! Am I imaging things or does this version of JRiver sound WAY better than anything else? Going back to any other playback software reminds me of third generation bootleg 8 track tapes from back in the day. There was no hype that I saw about this new version having better sound quality. After looking through some of the menus and seeing nothing new or unique, I finally decided to connect my computer to the DAC via in the most easy and convenient manner using a cheapo 20 foot plastic toslink cable. I really just wanted to see if they changed the interface of JRiver.
Expecting nothing different sound wise, I downloaded it to my everyday work computer (i5 Mac Mini). Having nothing better to do last night, I downloaded a trial version of JRiver Media Center v24 after they sent me a promotional email.
I own a copy of JRiver v20 but never use it.
