Title: Audiophile Hardware Needing Audiophile Player/Library Software
Post by: abclmnop on July 19, 2013, 12:53:00 am

I've purchased a new MacBook Pro (2.3 intel/8GB RAM) and a Dragonfly USB/DAC.

I'm currently using Decible for its ability to send music digital direct to USB/DAC  & it auto changes to the proper DAC clock for the file playing. iTunes is my current library. I'd like to change that.

I have never seen JRiver. It was recommended today by a friend who heard there is a Mac version.

JimH is it possible to get a trial version? Are there any discount prices for new customers/Beta testers?

Poorly written 1 AM post.
I believe I meant to ask:
Can JRiver MC electronically control the AudioQuest Dragonfly's analog volume control?
Can MC auto change the USB out for 44.1, 96, etc.?

Yes and yes--Media Center works really well with the Dragonfly, though to be honest I don't use the volume control very much (I keep the output on full / disable the volume and adjust the output with a separate amplifier).
