Media Center 17 and audio playback

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.

Some of us do buy MC for the HTPC features :)

I agree. However, how about showing us audiophiles some love with some improvements. As the OP said are there any enhancements in 17 for audio other than DSD?

Well, during a development cycle for each version, a huge number of features are introduced. Compare MC16's first builds with 181 and you'll see what I mean. Many features and improvements come as a result of user suggestions, bug fixes etc., and many of these are probably not part of the official agenda when the version is introduced. So I would say that there may be no reason for you to upgrade right now, and that's fair enough, but it really is early days to rule out MC17 as a whole - or ask "what have you done for me lately?"

I certainly don't speak for JRiver but I do know that in the last couple of versions they had a lot of major focus on audio and made tremendous improvements. Many of us were crying for improvements to Video and TV. They have done wonderful things with video and are now putting a lot of energy into TV. I think it's amazing what they have accomplished and how responsive they try to be for a small company.
I hope you enjoy the best audio player out there as much as I do.

I would recommend suggesting some features. The developers may not be aware of the desires of the audiophile community.
