JPlay App


I just tried the new JPLAY app that I read about on 6moons. It’s clearly sounds better than Roon in my system. Looks like I’ll be using it from now on. Free 14 day trial, give it a shot.

@marcin_gps thanks for posting this! Sheds more light on what’s happening.
 

I’m very impressed by non existence of health checks and internal controls within the Qobuz ecosystem. This is a true amateur hour on their end. When you’re unable to identify an issue the second it occurs and it takes you weeks to acknowledge it after tons of customers have complained. Looks like they decided to provide the explanation after they figured out how to fix it. 

@paullb I have been using jplay for the last month. It sounds better than roon, to me, and has very similar interface that is intuitive and works. 
I stopped streaming from Qobuz and use Tidal only. 

I have a Weiss DAC that supports JPlay and briefly looked into a trial of it. The problem for me with JPlay is I have to use my iPhone as a controller. No thanks. I hate using the iPhone as a a remote or controller for anything.

I didn't even bother trying it out. I use Roon running on a an Intel NUC for the server and use my MacBook Air (and very occasionally iPad Pro 12.9) as a Roon controller.

Why would you "have to" use your iPhone to control JPlay?  I've been using it for three years exclusively with iPads of various generations.

@jackd

Does it have an iPad specific app, or is it just the iPhone app made to display bigger? IOW, does it take advantage of the extra screen real estate?

In any case, I use my desktop Mac and MacBook Air to control Roon and/or Qobuz Connect. If JPlay doesn’t have a macOS app then I’m not all that interested. I mostly don’t use my iPad anymore and will likely give it to my wife, who wants to read books on it.
