RE: Anyone using Jplay? Review said it was better sounding than Roon

The problem. My problem.

All audio network streaming I tried, IMO sounded worse than playing local files.
Even if you're running advanced FullRAMBuffer playback players.
That's also valid for network-file services such as Samba, Cifs, NFS etc.

All I am saying. I experience slight audible differences using different methods on my system. And if I'd still be a no-compromise audiophile I simply couldn't use audio streaming services. Nowadays convenience beats the last bit of perceived sound quality. I somewhat learned to live with that compromise.

Beside that beating a dead horse like UPnP - wouldn't be my way of getting things evolved.

And. Lyrion is a free, feature-rich and great sounding client-server system supporting Qobuz etc. Comes with a great UI (Material Skin) for any OS out there. I am not sure why I'd spend any $ on some other mostly redundant stuff.

Enjoy.
