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.
