I'm evaluating JRiver for use with my high end audio system. I currently have Bryston SP2 and Amps with PMC FB1s. I need to replace the SP2, probably with a NAD 187 or a Bryston BP25 and a stand alone DAC. JRiver seems pretty slick but I'm having a number of problems. I'll post them separately:
Can someone point me to objective reviews for JRiver's video rendering? In the past I used Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity when shopping for hardware players. They have an excellent set of tests for DVD decoding and playback. They also have standards for BluRay, but I haven't looked closely at them. Does anyone know how JRiver stacks up on those tests, particularly against high end DVD players? I recall that there wasn't a single software player that did well rendering DVDs when I was last shopping for a DVD Player.
