Hello is anyone using J River Media Server Ver. 22.0.105? I am on a 15 day trial and would like to know what the
audiophile settings are, any help would be helpful.

Thanks
Gary
 
My DAC is a Maverick Audio D1 - Tube DAC, My server is connected to it via USB cable so all computer audio files go through it, also my CD player.

I have not played much with any settings. I am using a Firestone Fubar II USB Dac so I will follow this thread for setting options.
 
This is what I did.

As mentioned Tools/Options/Audio Select Audio Device.
Is there a selection with WASPI ? Select it.

Then Tools/Options/Settings Select DSP & output format

I had to make Output 48,000 Hz to work. (Set all to )

That is what is nice about it. You can also set the USB DAC as you default soundcard also in Windows but then all sounds would go through the DAC and I don't think you want that.
I do that, but if the DAC is not turned on, it defaults to my Headset.
 
The above for it - in the case of the Maverick - you can do up to 96K

I tried changing to 96K although I do not have any hires files. Everything is lossless CD rips.
When I changed this and tried to play a track a message came up saying I can't do that (96K). It offered to fix it and change it to 48K which is what it suggested. So I let it make the change.

It is hard to compare JRiver to Windows Media Player which is what I was using. I can't say it is definitely better.

It does sound really nice and I sent them the 50.
