Any JPlay users out there?


I've been on an upgrade kick lately (new laptop, DAC, cables, speakers).  I started looking at software (Fidelizer, Optimizer) and came across JPlay.  But I'm not understanding what it has to offer over Audirvana or Roon.  I think I could run Deezer through it which would be cool but other than that what's it all about?  

Any users that would like to share their experience?

After reading some positive reviews about this player, I finally downloaded it on my windows laptop after upgrading from a Asus K52 to a Asus S400. I had such high expectations, since this was a Windows only app. Installation was easy. But the third party controller app is a pain. After a few tries, I got it working. Tried 3 songs to compare with my setup of Foobar2000 and MonkeyMote iOS app. I could not hear much difference. Also if I played Foobar2000 after JPlay, the player would not play anything. I had to stop and restart the service.
I was so disappointed (not with the sound, but due to the playback frustration) that I uninstalled the software within 6 hours. If I am paying $$$$ for a music player, I would expect a decent app to come along with it, so that the user experience is frustration free. Will try it again if they ever came up with a good app to control the playback.
