Hi all! New to the forum, and I apologize in advance if my search failed to turn up an applicable answer to this somewhere else on the board.
Before I shell out the absurd asking price of a JRiver competitor I'd like to test JRiver in my system. I've read JRiver sounds better from several sources, and based on the performance of my new hardware I suspect this will be the case for me as well.
My setup:
Windows 7 computer in living room with lossless FLAC files on internal hard drive;
ASUS AC-1900RT router;
My stereo is in the basement. My digital front end consists of a Sonore ultraRendu feeding an LKS Audio MH-D004 DAC.
The computer and the ultraRendu are hard wired to the router.
The ultraRendu is controlled by a tablet or phone; I prefer to use my Android tablet (a Samsung Galaxy Tab S3).
If I install JRiver on the Win7 computer, how do I configure it and the ultraRendu to work together, and then how do I configure them for optimal quality playback? What software do I need on my Android tablet to control the ultraRendu for playback?
Many thanks in advance for your advice!
