I've tried the Mac OS version of JRiver and spent significant time with the Windows version of JRMC - I don't care for the user interface and the plethora of settings, et al. It has fewer features than JRiver, but they are features that I actually use in addition to AU support, being able to adjust the DAC sample rate switching delay has proven useful for one of my DAC/amps. I make heavy use of Audio Unit (AU) plug-ins for EQ on my Mac (and starting with surround plug-ins for my AVR) and I think the sound quality is excellent. Ripping movies (well) is w-a-y more complex and time consuming than ripping music. If you are new to all of this, do a lot of reading and some experimenting before committing to a particular direction. AC-3 + 2-channel AAC/160) and a container (e.g. Decide how you are going to store, manage and playback your movies. This OT, but MKV is simply a container for video/audio tracks, NOT a video or audio compression format. Besides, it's 32-bit and we're 2015 already. Only interested in these two, not Roon, seems more like a nice interface while I prefer the option of column browsing. Jriver looks and feels like a Windows program.Ī lot of people here seem to be big fans of it.

So I'm thinking of make MKV's from them and use Plex since Jriver on Mac is not suited for video yet (they have added it without advertising it but it's buggy as hell).Īnyone has info on the quality (or loss thereof) of MKV vs full bluray rip?įor My main music library I have a hard time deciding between Audirvana and Jriver.Īccording to the review of all these players in the link above SQ of Audirvana is better. My movies are bluray rips played via Mac BluRay Player, not that handy and no real interface. I think I'll keep iTunes for podcasts, browsing music in the iTunes store, putting lossy copies of some of my music in to have them with me everywhere via iTunes Match and let it be the hub for OSX and IOS as that seems to be it's mean function. Well, with iTunes Music now launched I'm getting scared of what will happen with my own owned music library of uncompressed music in the future. Again, this is speculation, but based on how electronic components work. All electrical components emit noise of some form or another when operating (remember how holding your cell phone next to a speaker would cause it to make noise?) so it could be that less interrupt and other processing in USB receiver chips results in less noise bleeding into the circuits of the DAC. This means less processing going on in the USB converter chip in the DAC resulting in less electrical level (not data level) distortion on the DAC end.

I suspect what is happening that Audirvana Plus and other players sound better is that they send a more consistent stream, especially if they can completely take over the physical bus between the computer and the DAC. It is designed to be interrupted, to share the data pipe with other devices of different types and protocols and isn't insulted well for noise by audio equipment standards. I don't know about over other interfaces, but USB isn't designed for continuous music streaming to a DAC.

Please sound off in our discussion forums with your questions or comments.I don't think this has anything to do with the bit-perfect quality of the stream, but electrical issues. Maybe you have another opinion and we’d love to hear it. Even a few more seconds would likely be enough but really, letting the scroll bars remain enabled is really the best option unless Apple decides to finally fix things. This annoyance could easily be remedied users were able to increase the time from when you stop scrolling to when the scroll bar fades from few. Using scroll bars is a simple task and users shouldn’t be required to change their habits to accommodate bad design. Sadly, in OS X, attempting that kind of maneuver with the scroll bars off requires you move the mouse to right edge of a window, scroll, and then grab the bar before it fades away. By default, scrollbars are always one in Windows. If you’re reading a long article and you want to scroll down quickly, the normal, practical thing to do is to grab the scroll bar and pull it up or down. The biggest problem with disappearing scroll bars isn’t even so much that they do, but rather how quickly they disappear.
