Title: Streaming Audio
Post by: Goansipife on June 26, 2021, 02:10:51 am

Hi All,
I can't find in any threads out there whether the new MC28 is available for streaming audio like Tidal and Qobuz.
Please let me know if this is possible and how to do it.
Many Thanks

As with previous versions of MC that can only be done using JRiver's WDM Driver.

We are in 2021 with version 28, why not integrate it directly since streamins is there to stay?

Do a search of the forums, it's been discussed extensively over the years along with the reasons why JRiver currently isn't interested in doing Qobuz, Tidal, Spotify, etc. integrations.

WDM does not work!

I have tried on several win machines. I have tried to set up a headless PC as a preamplifier and DSP processor. It works sometimes but is not stable. It might be a windows related thing witch is no excuse for jRIver not to offer a working solution.

Preamplifier here means the capability to switch between different sources like TV (Tochlink), analog record player in via USB-ADC etc.

JRiver is very capable as multibiamp DSP processor and is broadly used as such by HiFi DIY people. But we seem to run into the limitation of choosing sources for our playback music .

WDM works, but it is not as convenient.
