There is a lot of work going on in the background to maintain and develop the software that doesn't show up in the changelogs. Audio Prodigy-X PC-based music server running JRiver Media Center v25 and Roon, exaSound e38 Mark II D/A processor. The developers at JRiver aren't just sitting back and playing around. Since I've been a software developer I look at the changelogs JRiver posts and can understand the work that actually is necessary to implement and maintain those changes. Because if nobody does that software may go away. I also pay for free software that I use and find useful. If nobody pays for JRMC the software won't stay around and the developers will be out of work. I am willing to pay others for what I know they are doing. I know how much work it takes to develop software. If you previously purchased MC for Mac or Windows, and it is installed and licensed, you will see a reduced price when you purchase a Master License. The reason I can afford the audio toys I have is because people paid for the software I worked on. JRiver Media Center licenses available: Purchase Master License 79.98 (recommended, since it is valid for Windows, Mac, and Linux) Purchase from the Help Menu of the latest version. With two developers doing the video stuff there is going to be more changes there, but video is also something that needs that amount of work to keep up. When run on a properly-equipped PC, JRiver can take the place of an AV preamp, for it has controls and functionality for not just volume, but also speaker and bass management, as well as two. And a couple other developers who work on the rest and a mix of stuff (like the mobile apps and the server related stuff). There is one developer doing audio stuff and other stuff. But hey man, tinker Thats half the fun Adaptive Volume is the opposite of Volume Leveling. Of course, you could add some tasty VSTs, too I recommend ReLife in particular. JRiver has two developers who specialize in the video related stuff. Volume leveling, adaptive volume, clip protection, and if you use some sort of virtual surround (beats the convolver imo) the channel upmixing is second to none. So the video related changes are going to be more visible in the changelogs. Plus video standards and such change more rapidly than audio. Video improvements in JRMC do get more visibility because video in general is more visible. The fact that JRMC can now scan your entire library and find recordings that have HDCD is very nice. JRiver Media Center is one of the most comprehensive and seamless applications available for managing and playing your media. Even with a lesser DAC the HDCD decoding is a very useful and handy added feature. If you have a Schiit multibit the HDCD detection and decoding is especially nice. I own over 250 CDs that have HDCD and some high-res that was done using the Pacific Microsoincs. They're very nice recordings with the Schiit multibits. HDCD titles and other recordings done using the Pacific Microsonics AD converter have multibit magic. 4k HTPC running JRiver Media Center and 35TB media server, B&W CDM 1NT, CNT & SNT.
