I got this because 2 people at Mytek recommended it , for DSD Up-Converting, and for even better SQ than Audirvana Plus. Unfortunately, JRiver for Mac doesn't do 2X DSD, ( yet) which is a bit of a disappointment, but AV+ does play 2X DSD Files, but no up-converting. I've been listening to Enrico Peranunzi Trio plays Wayne shorter DSD 64 Download. I got the SACD years ago, and was an instant Fav, great playing and recording and Tunes. I have a Mytek DSD Dac with Firewire, IMac OS 10.9.6. So anyway, my Point is that JRiver sounds fantastic, seems way more Dialed-In on the individual Instruments. I think it it provides a very elegant, beautiful sound. AV+ is a bit more forward and blunt, kind of like-OK, here's what ya'got, can't help it if ya' don't like it. JRiver seems to say, Well, let's see, maybe it could sound a little more refined, with even more separation/bled, a little more beautiful, don't you think? Let's try it again, from the beginning, 2,3,4. Media Center 20 for Mac is a Big step up for me. I hope they add DSD 128 ASAP, but AV+ on DSD 128 is great. I look forward to what JRiver will do with it! Home Audio has really come a long way recently, and finding some new Music to listen to, Downloading it, playing the File on the Computer, having it sound great, It's great fun! Great. Great, I say.
