    Hi John, I've installed the released version but can't listen until tomorrow. What US value are you finding works vs RC 15, is it different as Josef suggests?

    I will play around with it today had it set at 1750 as was using that in last set up but not sure what sounds best yet Its sounding pretty balanced no harshness in the treble but as you know, altering the size can have a big effect

    I prefer the higher settings in Ultra not a lot of difference but opens out a bit more in the higher settings

    Hi John, I'm not in a position critically listen currently but I can tell that low UltraSize settings sound ok, whether in my system higher settings sound better will have to wait for tomorrow. BTW the lowest setting that plays music with the JKDAC32 is 169; for the iFi iDAC with its XMOS receiver the min is the Jplay min of 20.

    Try out Lubuntu + Latency Kernel + Deadbeef, I kind of think this would be a better solution than Jplay.

    Perhaps but 2pc set up in Jplay is very impressive. The only way to be sure is to compare.

    It might well be but the 2 PC version of Jplay in hibernation mode devotes the entire pc connected to the DAC to a single purpose, all ling as you turn off a few windows features. The DAC-connected pc does not do any flac conversion, or processing of wavs as a player so it's arguably more dedicated than a single pc unbuntu solution. A 2 pc unbuntu solution though could well be an improvement.

    The sweet spot for Jplay are windows users who a do some mild tweaking and who can't be bothered with twin boot setups or don't want to get involved with ubuntu and all the tweaks needed with it. Likewise people who don't want to fiddle at all are better buying a server from Gazam, Linn Naim etc. So each has it's place.
