In Reply to: RE: JRiver Media Center 20 for Mac posted by dvb on March 01, 2015 at 19:08:27
As a Mac user, I don't know if something happened in the download or what, but occasionally as I was listening, in between tracks, JRMC generated this HUGE burst of noise that sent the cat bolting from the room and my wife into heart palpitations. So I don't dare use JRMC these days. (My wife jokingly asked if we could sue them for mental anguish!) I just assumed they were further along in their development on the PC than they were on the Mac, but I'm not eager to take a chance with them again.
So I've been using Audirvana, but things are not entirely well with Audirvana either: somehow, after about 3-4 months of use, it started to lose the right rear channel during multichannel playback. (And indeed the Audirvana readout shows playback of a 4.1 file rather than a 5.1 file, even though the DAC readout shows 5.1 conversion still available.) The actual AIFF files are OK, and all 5.1 channels of the multi-channel files play back fine with VLC Media Player, so I'm thinking something must have gotten corrupted with the Audirvana SW.
Follow Ups:
I only use 2 Ch Stereo, but no problems at all here.
2 people at Mytek recommended JR over AV.
The engineers at JR developing the Mac MC20 version were praised as being Smart Guys who are doing great work.
Are all the settings correct?
There are sub-menus to find and check stuff.
I've got the Videos from ted_b, will be watching soon. Also, Mytek Software Set-up guide might have something that was missed. ( of course, Mytek is 2 ch ).
I inadvertently changed a setting in AV+ last week, wouldn't play DSD128 for a while, until I found the problem, and un-checked a box.
Computers and Software can be Maddening, I'm sure we'll all agree!
