I guess I did more than try. Now that I remember more clearly, I actually liked JRiver. I switched to FiiO players because I wanted to play DSD files and the April Music DAC I used with JRiver was limited to 24/192 PCM. I picked up a small portable FiiO player just for kicks and was surprised at how nice it sounded not to mention the fact that it played DSD directly from a plug-in micro SD card. I guess I just fell in love with FiiO digital players.

At the time I discovered FiiO, I also traveled occasionally, so I could easily take my music with me on the road. I also had some audio buddies and we would get together periodically for listening sessions. FiiO enabled me to bring my favorite hi-rez digital music to those listening sessions.

I never got interested in multi-channel audio. However, FiiO players seem to be an excellent choice for high-end two-channel stereo. Over the years, FiiO players improved and now the R9 is an excellent component player/streamer/DAC/preamp with similar capabilities to the Eversolo DMP A8. It's too bad that other inmates aren't interested in the new FiiO R9 because it seems to me to be a relatively inexpensive solution to truly high-end digital playback.

Oh, well. Such is life!
