Article: JPLAY for iOS and iPadOS Review

[Mike Rubin]

I am curious about sound quality improvements that others observe.  I had a number of interface issues that I was never entirely able to resolve, so I stopped using JPlay a few months ago.  My primary interest in my extensive troubleshooting was in maximizing my system's SQ but, in the end, I didn't find that I was able to hear a difference between JPlay and the other DLNA players I tried.  (I don't count HQPlayer in this equation, because, unlike JRiver, Minimserver, MConnect, and my Audirvana setup, it modifies the playback of what the server sends out.)

 

In what ways have other users found JPlay to sound better than bit-perfect renderers such as Audirvana or JRiver?  I am willing to give it another try if the predominant sentiment is that it sounds better than the competition.
