  1. Any tips for setting up Library views for DSD files? Also, is there a way to configure the title bars when looking at albums in Pane view? Nearly my entire collection is classical so I end up with title bars (ie. the ones dividing albums in the lower pane) that read something like this: Bax: The Complete Symphonies (London PO) by Unknown Artist (i.e. Album Title by Unknown Artist)
  2. Thanks for the response. I forgot that I also had a spare PC laying around so I might give Windows 10 a shot with JRiver. It's a much more powerful machine so probably more suitable for the job. But do I have it right ... that I can play a multi-channel DSD file and have JRiver convert it to PCM and send of HDMI to my processor?
  3. So, a bit of an odd-ball question here perhaps, but here goes. I have a home theater that has a dedicated HTPC which can play music of course, but I'd like another computer source where I can use JRiver in desktop mode so that I can multi-task and answer emails from work/surf the web etc. Obvious choice is to grab a mac-mini and call it a day, but I do have a spare Asus Chromebox laying around that I could attempt to install Linux on. I understand JRiver is available for Linux, but my question is, what is the likelyhood that I'll be able to play DSD files (and have JRiver Convert to PCM and send over HDMI) to my theater's processor. I haven't upgraded my processor yet (so It doesn't support DSD), so I'd rely on the conversion from JRiver. Any thoughts?
  4. Hello folks, I have a few questions about the state of music servers that I hope someone can answer. I currently use a squeezebox 3 connected via spdif to a Grace headphone amp. I stream FLAC and am generally pretty happy as I listen mostly to classical music and the server along with some 3rd party plug-ins make for a very elegant solution. I want 24/96 capability however and I'm tired of waiting for their Touch model to come out (The Transporter is out of the question at the moment -- too $$) My questions are: 1. I have a Presonous Firebox and a Apogee Duet -- both capable of sending 24/96 to the Grace. Is there software that will send out music via either of these interfaces without resampling? In otherwords, can the output be set by the source files? I'd like 16/44.1 files to output at 16/44.1 and I want 24/96 files to output at 24/96 -- sounds simple but I'm not sure its easy? 2. One of the features I've become accustomed to is the Ipeng remote features. If I ditch squeezebox/server are there other alternatives that would let me control/select music via an iphone remote app? I know Itunes + remote.app will do this, but I'm not about to convert my collection to ALAC and the hacks seem... well hacky! Any suggestions? I suspect the best option is to wait for the Touch, but I wanted to cover all bases. Thanks!
