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

You can try it, but I suspect you'll find much at all as "improvement" My friend brought his RPi setup over and we conducted a non-scientific comparison.

Bias? Of course. He wanted to like his RPi setup versus my Daphile, and I wanted to prefer my Daphile. At the end of the day both setups sounded great and we were hard-pressed to note significant differences.

Also, for what its worth, I didn't get much out of "upsampling" either. While in some cases upsampling in Daphile sounded different than the non upsampled audio track, I can't say that it was "better".

Daphile doesn't limit you to one or two DAC's. With the right plugins, you have much flexibility to select multiple DAC's or endpoints. In my use case, Dahile can output to my choice of two DAC's, a Wiim Mini, or either of two Google Nest Minis we have here at the house. You can also synchronize output so that Daphile can output to the above devices at the same time.
