I'm here to add something positive to enhance people's enjoyment of bashing jriver.

Bashing of competitors (products)? Where, here? JPLAY is not recommended No way, even Foobar agrees!

No. It'll run straight off the rails when people indirectly start manipulating moderators in suggesting it'll run straight off the rails.

??? Don't you have some bug fixing and giving support on your own forum to do?

Everone's entitled to their own opinion and should feel free discussing the need/necessity of DBT on topic. However requesting/demanding audiophiles to perform DBT's in a topic in which they're discussing their tweak/purchase/optimization or whatever is both annoying and off topic. Most of the times it's almost the same as calling out God does not exist on a forum about religion or claiming BMW sucks on a BMW forum. Also most audiophiles are not interested in DBT or scientific validity and explainations, they trust their ears and care about results only. Objectionists claiming they're 'only trying to warn others' to not fall for the 'snake oil'/(put any denigrating term here) are the worst IMO.

Sorry, I meant the PMS software. The quirks in the firmware are being ironed out quite well.

Are "bashing" JRiver and adding something positive to enhance people's enjoyment of this hobby mutually exclusive things? I guess that depends on the reader. Pleasing any- and everyone, like you wrote as well, is quite difficult.

Pono: nice hardware but very crappy software!

+1 Unfortunately not everyone is born with the same communication skills or taught how to use/develop them. Of course it could also be a plain case of simple arrogance or the lack of empathy. In any way it looks to be a typical Minnesotan thing, jriver has the same underdeveloped style of communicating/arrogance. Looks like some of the more sensitive people here (poor kids!) are really pissed and about to boil over so now would be a good time to do some damage control. I wouldn't count on it happening though...(see above).
