Jplay Mini

I've been using JPlay for JRiver for a couple of weeks now. I must say I was very skeptical when I downloaded it but my ears quickly put me in my place. There is an ease and naturalness to it's presentation, more of an analog sound than I have experienced from my computer source before. I am extremely pleased and think it's a serious bargain. I tried hibernate mode once but it's a rare occasion that I would be able to deal with no control of playlist and rebooting to make changes, kind of a pain. It did sound better but just not worth the hassle to me, the standard JPlay in JRiver sounds damn good on it's own. I have not tried the mini yet but a good friend of mine swears by it.

Josef and Marcin are great guys too. Very accessible, knowledgeable, helpful and kind. I could tell right off they were audiophiles first:)

full hibernation mode is the best but agree not as flexiable for me the difference is too huge to ignore

Question for you guys, as I stated, I tried this one evening and enjoyed it. Since I have tried several times and have only gotten it to run once. I get very slow and distorted playback. I have changed bit rate around, ram settings, river & beach, hibernation on & off, yet all I get is slow distorted play. One thing I have noticed is that it seems to go to inverted phase on its own everytime I get the slow distorted playback. I have emailed JPlay, they asked me a few questions about settings and equipment, but no response past that yet (weekend). They did say the trial and the full version are identical and I sure don't want to pay $130 for distortion. Has anyone else run into this? Any ideas?

If JPLAY didn't get back to you yet you could delete the current version you have installed of JP & relaod another copy. Make sure you follow the instructions exactly for the installation into JRiver 16 or 17.Good luck!

I have recently had Jplay installed on my custom server by Marcin himself. It sounds so much better than both the Jriver 17 and XXHiEnd that it is almost scary. By far the best 100 euros I have spent on my system so far. Highly recomended !
