I'm relatively new to the world of audio thru my computer, but not to audio itself. I recently found this player after reading several reviews, mostly from here. Let me tell you, it sounds amazing!! I have a little Logitech 2.1 system & it sounds almost as good as my stereo. So, give it a try. I'm gonna throw my $50 bucks to JRiver very soon!! I recommend it to every one who has Windows 7. Thanks, Matt
