Media Center 17 and audio playback
gtener:
So far I really don't see anything new in MC17 for audiophiles. The movement seems to be to bloat MC17 with HTPC everything. Please don't make this a "Lightroom" alternative, a movie editing program, or a "garage band" alternative. Trying to be all things to all desires may make audiophiles look elsewhere. J River Media Center is the best playback software I have found so far and I hope audio playback remains a priority of the writers.
JimH:
DSD playback is an audiophile feature if you have the right equipment.

Speed improvements also affect all users.
And development of MC17 has just begun.
What's missing for you?

As long as you don't change, remove or make access more difficult to the existing audiophile features, I don't see anything wrong with adding support for any 'HTPC' features at all. So far, it's great. Thanks!

I've been an Audiophool for many years. Loved it when I could store all our music on computer and get outstanding playback quality and the quick easy access to all our music. Since my wife and I love movies that led to putting our movies on the computer and growing to a 5.1 HT system, still with high quality audio. JRiver does this the best. And it just keeps getting better.
Audiophile desires and HT can coexist very well. In fact they are a great complement when you use Media Center! Thanks JRiver.
