Title: Volume scales and UPnP renderer as audio card output
Post by: Chipicui on April 22, 2017, 01:03:08 pm
Hi... I'm newbie in JRiver, being a long time loyal user and lover of foobar2000 but recently I was looking for an integral solution for media playing so I made the change.
I must say that I'm really impressed by your absolutely wonderful, stable and nicely designed software.
I have some doubts concerning UPnP playing to my Marantz SR5009.
Works wonderfully, but i'd like to know two things:
1) my AVR has a volume range indication of -79.xdB to 0dB being (hopefully) calibrated in such a way that 0dB would be reference 0VU. (don't know if it goes beyond 0dB.... I never listen to music so loud)
Today I was listening (through UPnP) at -20dB in the AVR and taking a look at MC volume indication it was displaying 72%
Is there a way to know how this two scales relate to each other?... or changing the display in JRiver to coincide to the AVR?.... because I can't get my head around this discrepancy.
2) foobar has an absolutely awesome feature: you can configure an UPnP renderer as an audio output so that you just play the foobar gapless stream as if you were playing to a physical output.
Is there anything similar in JRiver? ... using my AVR as zone I'm not getting gapless playing, while it did it in foobar.
Thanks a lot for your time and for this exceptional software.

2) : Yes, there is an option for playing gapless, it is located in
Tools/option/Audio/Track change
