I've been promoting experiments for over 10 years, and I've never known any software that would approach JPLAY FEMTO in audio quality, although I recognize that Roon is the one with the best graphical interface and integration possibilities. I've never tried HQPlayer and I don't like media manipulation (upsampling and external filters). In cases where the drivers and the operating system don't offer the best integration between hardware and software, it may happen that the ASIO mode is the most beneficial, which will not allow us to extract the maximum that JPLAY FEMTO can offer (with it, the best method is the Kernel Streaming). However, once verified the possibility of using the dual-PC setup, with the Hibernate mode activated, with the DAC Link at 1000Hz and in conjunction with a lightweight Windows Server 2019, running directly from the RAM, for me, is as far as I can currently go in terms of digital reproduction through computer.

But, once this perfect integration has been achieved (with the possibility of using the DAC Link parameter at 1000Hz and the lowest buffer and latency as possible), it's the best software player I've ever known.īecause of this criticism, I understand that not everyone will confirm my impressions, and naturally that every result is dependent on the system. Undoubtedly, JPLAY FEMTO is the most critical in terms of synchronization and integration between hardware and software, as it requires extreme levels of latency and buffer that only the best DACs and drivers can achieve.

Until today, I've tried foobar2000, JRiver (several versions), Roon, Album Player, KODI, I've tried TIDAL, HySolid and several other software and operating systems (AudioLinux, Euphony, Volumio, Daphile and others).
