So, I'm in the process of demo'ing Jriver for Mac. I just got through demo'ing Audirvana +, and I like Jriver a lot better (even in alpha version) because it seems to have a lot more features (DSP Studio, etc.). It is, however, kinda buggy, and it also doesn't really seem like a Mac OS X application, but more of a Windows application ported over to Mac, which I suppose it is. But the result is a bit clunkier, less slick, than a full on OS X application would be.

All in all, though, I think the feature set might make it a winner.  I've been underwhelmed with Pure Music and Audirvana, especially since they seem to offer zip in the way of DSP and plug-in expandability. What's the point of a high(er) end player if you don't get that stuff? Even iTunes at least has a passable graphic EQ...

Also, it's cool that it can share my library with iTunes, which I also use, and has a reasonable organizational aspect unlike the others I mentioned.

Coupla questions... what exactly IS convolution?

And, am I correct that I can use VST plug-ins, for example?

For the sake of accuracy...

Pure Music has an active crossover built-in and supports plugins with flexible assignment to output channels.

A+ will support plugins in the next version.

Thanks. That seems really complicated and I'm completely lost. Could I get an 'explain like I'm five' on this?

Convolution is (in this context) FIR filtering or a type of "EQ". It's a more powerful technique than the typical parametric or graphic EQ. The filter response is controlled by a long list of complex numbers that needs to be computed by some other program - Acourate, rephase, PORC, AudioLense - often but not always by processing a measured acoustic response.

Aha, thanks!

According to JRiver's website, it supports DNLA. I know my PS3 also supports DNLA. Does anyone know if I'd be able to stream hi-res music to my PS3 using JRiver?

Hi
Can anyone direct me to some screen shots to help with set up?
I am switching from Pure Music and encountering some problems.
What I have heard so far, does sound fantastic.
Thanks
