I've used a PC Core for my ~15,000 flacs for almost 15 years now.

#J river media center cortana software

Like you, I'm not typically doing multi room (although I do sometimes use the software to connect to wifi speakers in my living room when I'm away from my hifi), so there's a lot of functionality in some of these packages that are unnecessary for me. Curious to see what others on this thread recommend. I wouldn't mind switching from Audrivana 3.5 to something current and supported and being updated, but when I scan the marketplace for what's on offer, right now, I must say, there's nothing out there that offers a package of cost and functionality that seems attractive to me. I'd also need local file and Qobuz integration, which also makes J River and Audirvana Origin losers for me.

Two things are non-starters for me for local playback software - I'm not interested in paying monthly to use it as a service, so no Roon, no Audirvana Studio, etc - and I want a simple, clean elegant interface, so no J River, which I've used off and on for years and always hated. I use the old Audirvana 3.5 which integrated Qobuz and local library, has a really clean, simple, elegant looking interface, and, most importantly of all, is a piece of local software not software as a service. Yes it does take some time to get it work properly, but once you have it set up, it's easy to maintain and just works really well. It'll run on a raspberry pi, so really it doesn't need much at all. You could get a streaming deck, but I have computers laying around and JRiver will run on even the most modest systems. It's really easy to add albums or songs at the end of the playlist. But JRiver is really nice if you want to cue up albums. Yes I also have Foobar2000 to play files because sometimes I don't want launch JRiver. It will also output native DSD streams to a DAC via DoP. I use JRiver because it will handle any kind of audio file include ISO rips of SACDs. And if you can't find what you're looking for ask, somebody will have a solution.

As far as setting it up, you could consult the forums at the JRiver for instructions on how to set it up. You can link a tablet or a smart phone to control it, so you don't really need to output to video to play music, but it's best to use the video interface for setting it up.

I use it mostly for audio, but my brother uses it mostly for video. I use JRiver, but it's more of Swiss Army knife than it is strictly for music. I've used JRMC in the past but found that their interface was not as intuitive as I would have liked.īased on what I've got and what I want, what would you recommend and why? So which should I get? I already have Foobar 2000 set to WASAPI. I don't need to cast to other rooms and outside of my PC and I'd like to stream to my HiFi. One major issue is that the majority of my music is classical and while I have it very neatly catalogued on the HD in folders, Audirvana doesn't present it this way and I suspect that Roon would be similar. I have a Kaiser Baas Soundshift attached to my HiFi which accepts DLNA connections and it does work with my iPad I have a near field system from Edifier with a subwoofer. I have headphones (Audeze LCD1, Sennheiser HD580 and 6XX, Flare Gold iems My music outputs to a Schiit Modi 3+ fed into an Asgard 3 My 'core' is a Dell standalone with 8Gb of RAM run by an Intel i5 chip I have 2000+ CDs ripped to FLAC on an external SSD So what have I got and what am I looking for? JRiver will also connect with Qobuz apparently. I've use JRMC in the past but have struggled to get things working, especially my media library.

I also realise that Roon does this as well but it's expensive. I like that Audirvana can have my music library correlate with my Qobuz subscription, handily putting all of it in one place. Also featuring from my research was JRiver Media Centre, Roon and Plex.

I downloaded the studio version (maybe the the other version might have been better) and have been giving it a trial run. A recent post where 'bit perfect' was mentioned also mentioned Audirvana.
