In my system when same song played from hard disk hi-res files, sq from is somewhat warm, but the same song played via Jriver is slightly forwardIn what sense do you hate it sir? The sound quality is far better on Roon than Jriver when I last tried it last year around the same time. Apparently they have made improvements in the past year to the sound quality whereas Jriver has had none.. So curious to know if you hate the interface, the sound quality, the price (I hate it's price which is why I have stuck with Jriver) or maybe the name itself?
