JRiver MC has so many configurations and it is the number one rated software for sound quality as its internal processing is world class. It can do everything and more.  Foobar2000 is the best free alternative.  Basic and not as user friendly but does the job fantastically well. On both you will know you have the best possible raw data crunchers in the business. Send those numbers direct to an external DAC and you should be in Hi Fi land.Big smile

Being able to understand the context of what you are saying, I need to point out that existing designs have taken more time than expected. The Majestic DAC is now 2 months late and although a pre-production batch of 5 has been built, further testing to prove its worth has been needed. This is just about done, and with jitter now measuring 116 ps, well worth the delay.

The line stage is now 2 years late, but is the next up for design and I must get that done before an ADC.

I know there are a number of 'designers' who can get a product together much sooner but these are people who are just data-sheet engineers - they just translate the data-sheet recommendations into a working design.

I do a lot more than that to make a better sound - the proof of the pudding... etc.

Like Sylvain I am looking forward to a Graham Slee ADC. I'd rather it was done very well by Graham than have a churned out data sheet application, of which there are plenty already.

Graham, has the further testing resulted in any changes or are the five pre-production units still the real deal?

Ifor,
You ask the question we all have in our minds but are perhaps afraid to ask.
Just listen, if it sounds good to you, enjoy it.
