Really nice player. The interface is very smooth and slick. I can't say it sounds any different than Jriver without applying any filters. I'll use the trial for a while,.

[BOBO]

there are many settings that you can tune, here`s some of mine:

I think the upsampling sounds a little cleaner than Jriver without and resampling. I use Pro iDSD's DSD512 remaster's so I think that dictates the audio. But man the interface is so slick. It's a really good deal for $16. It doesn't support SACD iso so I have to convert to DSF. I guess it's not the end of the world.

I use the AVX2 version of the player, it sounds better to my ears.

The interface is indeed good, also the trial version and paid one don`t have differences between (sound wise).

Really nice.  Folks who want a folder structure browser along with a library view will love this.  Very cleverly designed GUI.

@BOBO how did you even find out about this?  The hover help is in English, but the help files are Japanese only.

[BOBO]

was looking at same jbl speakers vids on youtube and on one of the videos the dude had a player i never heard off, after that i checked it myself and now its my main player.

 

Some of the best audio software comes from Japan: Bug Head, Audiogate, Tunebrowser.

I think I'm going to make the switch for good from Jriver. I just love the interface particularly the folder browsing option. It also runs way faster than Jriver. I do think the upsampling give you slightly cleaner sound than without any software upsampling. 

[BOBO]

have you used the settings that i use, those make a difference?

[rickca]

Really more people need to give TuneBrowser a try and compare it to their favorite Windows player for sound quality.  I think it's excellent.  

[BOBO]

it is and it has pretty much any feature you need, plus the very good sound quality.

1. Anyone know how to add another directory of music to it after you have the first ones set?
2. Does anyone think this sounds better than Audirvana?

Choose 'File --> Preferences --> Basic --> Music folders'

[mesonto]

For heaven's sake it was the very first option in preferences... thank you so very much.

 

I am auditioning software because I may have to move away from Audirvana due to their wickedly unpopular new subscription model. I am hoping that this software, as long as I find an Android player (remote) to go with it, will sound just as good as playing my music files through Audirvana. So far and after only a couple of hours playing with it I find it incredible compared to its competition and so quick as well... and the plus side is this developer is on the ball as far as updating his software.

 

Looks incredibly promising!

Looks as though this plays only into a cabled connection to a DAC.  Does it have any server capabilities so that it can stream content over a network to a renderer?

Various music control points see it both as a server and a Renderer.
