JPlay App

I updated by going to app store, searching for jplay and hitting the update button 

Thanks…installed the update.  I was hitting the open button instead of clicking on the app logo which gives the update button.  Yesterday was my first day seriously comparing it to Roon.  It definitely has a different sound.  Roon is smoother more mellow while JPlay is more alive with detail and clarity. Both sound good in their own ways but I do prefer JPlay’s SQ.  Details, imaging and weight really stand out more on my system.  Still trying to learn/navigate the app. Not real intuitive for me.  So far, I miss the functionality and features Roon offers.  Since I am Roon for life I do see using both apps.  Roon for discovery and easy listening and Jplay for serious SQ listening sessions.  JMHO

Anyone successfully using a Sonore Optical Rendu with Jplay?  I have an Optical Rendu Deluxe and an Optical Rendu which both will not come up as an Audio Output device in the app after turning off roon ready and setting them to DLNA.  My Main system Signature Rendu SE DLX works perfectly using the same set up.  

TK, I agree with your Roon/JPlay sound analysis 

Just noticed this thread. I’ve been commenting about jPlay for iOS on a Roon thread.

A couple of years ago, I tried jPlay. I liked the sound quality. However, I was put off by it not being gapless with my streamer.

After several years as a Roon user, I recently moved back to UPnP because I wasn’t at all happy with its sound quality. Inspired by @audphile1 and thinking there was a workaround to make it gapless, I tried jPlay out again a few days ago.

The gapless workaround didn’t work out, but I was so blown away by the sound quality that I have decided to go with jPlay anyway.
