Hi,
Sorry if parts of the questions below have been answered somewhere, in which case please redirect.
Currently I have JRiver on MacBook Air, which is connected via Wifi to my home network, which in turn feeds an SOTM via Ethernet for glorious music! However, for several reasons including the fact that my MacBook goes through the dreaded sudden mute (googled, no help besides voodoo), would rather free up my MacBook and darn it, I have been so restrained and good about hifi shopping, am seriously considering the Idpi. I would like to use it as a server (music on USB hard drive) connected by Ethernet into my network and then on to the SOTM.
Questions:
1. If I buy the Idpi, does the JRiver license that comes with it become a “package” with my existing Mac JRiver. Sort of a universal license?
2. Will it open up all the DSP options currently not usable with this configuration?
3. Is JRemote the best way to control this or will my JRiver on Mac “see” the new device.
4. Will the proposed JRiver 25 upgrade come free with the pi if I buy now?
