In the end its the quality of what they actually offer thatÂ’s matter . A worrying trend indeed ,some dev actually wasted electrons supporting jplay ( a well known foo software http://www.jriver.com/jplay.html ) but they actually have dev resources to waste ? if they manage to build a good product anyway thats good . I have to build myself a new server first it's about time :) Some NUC with virtualization i think then i'm actually able to run roon and LMS and more -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
