In fact JRMC can do virtually anything a good receiver can do so if you had a good Power-Amp your PC could become your Receiver and Pre-Amp. One thing to note here even when I switched back to using SP/DIF I found myself turning off my receivers Bass Management and using JRMC’s instead as it is far more precise. yes, also allows me to set that all important Sub-Woofer cross-over is just brilliant. For me the Room Correction option that allows me to adjust the relative delays and volumes of the speakers precisely and. It also has built in a very impressive array of high quality Digital Signal Processing – obviously using these is not going to give Bit Perfect sound but some are so advantageous as to make that a non argument in my mind.

It supports bypassing the Windows Mixer and talking directly to the Sound Driver using a vast array of technologies including ASIO and WASAPI (there is a really good explanation of all these as part of J RIver’s comprehensive Wiki / FAQ ) and is capable of Bit Perfect output. Without it everything was really lacking bass depth.Įnter J River Media Center (I’ll call it JRMC for convenience.) JRMC is a media player built from the ground up to have great audio. As my front speakers are small units not capable of producing very low frequencies this is something I rely on to pass the low frequencies to the Sub-Woofer.

Whilst this allowed me to play the high sample rate audio files I wanted to try without any down-sampling it had a huge disadvantage in that it bypassed all of my receivers processing including its bass management.

I had changed my connection from my Media PC to my old Panasonic Receiver from using an SP/DIF to using individual analogue phono connections for each of the 5.1 channels. Jriver, Media Center, Music, music libraryĪ few months ago I was pointed to J River Media Center as a potential fix for an audio issue I was having.
