I was invited to join Sydney Audio Club in a lift today!

(1/6) > >>

Hilton:
I've had a fairly regular lift and coffee shop conversation with this nice chap in my building over the last year, we're often on the same arrival and coffee schedule and often have light conversation and banter in the lift and the coffee shop.

This morning a doof doof drove into the carpark while we were waiting for the lift and I mentioned I like loud music too, but prefer quality over volume, and that prompted the discovery that we both have a passion for music.... Turns out that he's the club president for Sydney Audio Club.  


Didn't have much time to chat in the lift this morning but I'll find out if he's onto MC.
I'll get along to the next meet and spread the JRiver love. :)

JimH:
Nice story.  Thanks.

You could offer a few free licenses if you like.  Just send me an email.  jimh...

Hilton:
I sent an email off.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the card, I look forward to coming along to a meeting and having some great conversations. I see your next meeting is in August.
I maybe off to the snow for a week so may miss this one but I’ll let you know.

I have another couple of local friends that maybe interested in attending too.

We’re beta testers for the JRiver Media Center software over at www.JRiver.com
 
I, with my other Aussie counter parts are some of the most vocal and demanding endearing users who provide plenty of input into development. 
Not sure if you’ve heard of it, but it’s “THE” “Audiophile” media player, library manager and server.

I noticed you see the future as digital and streaming from your interview on the SAC site, so it’s something that I think you’d enjoy checking out.
Bit perfect playback for PCM, FLAC, SACD Rips with USB DAC support and a whole lot more. (just about every audio and video format known to man with multi-zone playback)

Jim Hillegass started JRiver for audio and has developed it into a whole of house media center, with more than 20 years of development behind it. (Version 21 just about to start going through development)
JRiver Media Center has some pretty high profile users, Bob Katz for one and Neil Young from Pono and a very active and vocal passionate community. 

The Pono player desktop software is based on JRiver Media Center.

I very much look forward to catching up sometime.

PS. Jim has asked me to extend a free license to you if you’re interested. Please drop him an email to let him know and he’ll send you a key.
I can offer to help get you started with it if you like as there’s so much you can do with it. You can start off with a laptop install with external USB disk to keep it simple. (MAC or PC)


Cheers,

Hilton

It's about time you gave out your phone number and address!  ;D

Looks like a fun club.

Hilton:
FYI :)
I'll be going along with Pi and Id in tow. :)

Cheers

Hi Hilton,

Got your email that time!  Thanks for the resend.

Yes, JRiver is a very good product.  At home I use Audirvana Plus v2.2 plus Pure Music V2.0.4 plus the Mac version of JRiver v20.  We'll be comparing those 3 on Sunday, plus lots of other comparisons (DSD to high-res PCM for example).

I must say though, I don't think the JRiver Mac version is the equal of the PC version.  But I'm sure it'll improve with every new version.

Please try to make it on Sunday.

And please thank Jim for the kind offer of the JRiver licence, but I already have one.

Cheers,
Tom
