Nope, I have not tried hibernate yet but that option probably won't work for me, as I tend to use the computer for more than just a music player. I used Wasapi mode.

Of course that I used the demo version, but that shouldn't influence the sound quality. The settings were very simple to figure out and I didn't notice any improvements by changing them around. As said before I have a W4S DAC2, connected via USB to my media PC(quad core, 8GB RAM, windows 7 64bit), the DAC goes into W4S amplifier via regular interconnects. The same setup using Jriver 16 and 17, WASAPI event style setting, gives me a very different sound, much open and richer.

Well, in my experience, Jplay sound is very thin and lacks of detail that I hear in Jriver 16. The soundstage drops as well... I have a Wyred4Sound DAC2 connect via USB to my music PC and there is huge difference between the 2 players, where Jriver is a definitive winner.

I did install and played a bit with this software, and to my amazement even my girlfriend noticed a difference in the sound played:) ..but it was NOT a good difference, as this player managed to produce a very "thin" contained sound, in comparison with JRiver 16. I was on the look for something "better" than Jriver, but on my system, where I have a Wyred4Sound Dac 2 that is directly connected via USB to my computer, Jplay didn't manage to come even closer to Jriver... I had high expectations after reading their web site info...
