Nehpets Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I am new to this site and need help with some clarifications. If I stream Jriver on Win7 PC to AE that is connected to DAC on pre amp via toslink. Will I benefit by using cat5 from router to AE? Should I rip using FLAC or AIFF if I need synch with iPhone too. Do I need dBpoweramp to rip or can I do it in Jriver pros and cons? My long term goal is to be able to listen to Hi Res files on hdwr that will not become obsolete in a year or two. I don't plan to invest in a CD player Link to comment
Nehpets Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 Downloaded asset UPnp can't see AE. Works great streaming from iTunes on other computer. Not sure about set up Link to comment
Audio_ELF Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 JRiver can't stream direct to a AirPort Express - you could use Rogue Amoeba | Airfoil for Windows: Wireless Audio Around Your House Eloise --- ...in my opinion / experience... While I agree "Everything may matter" working out what actually affects the sound is a trickier thing. And I agree "Trust your ears" but equally don't allow them to fool you - trust them with a bit of skepticism. keep your mind open... But mind your brain doesn't fall out. Link to comment
Nehpets Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 Eloise, thank you for the airfoil suggestion. It is recognized by Jriver, but I am not able to hear any music on the stereo. I know the airport express works, so isn't must be an issue with the computer and wireless network or firewalls. This is so fustrating, because iTunes is just plug and play. I was hoping to hear the improvement in sound from Jriver. Link to comment
