Anyone using the JPLAY app ?


I first heard about the JPLAY app on a posting in this forum a couple months ago.

It's recently been released for iOS by the JCAT group.

Because of my equipment I had  only been able to use M-Connect to stream to my Ifi Zen Stream.  I was using Tidal Connect with the Ifi Zen but I've since cancelled my Tidal account. 

Qobuz has sounded terrific via the M-Connect app into my Zen Stream but the app itself is uninspired to say the least. 

I've been using JPLAY for the past month or so and, while there's been a few bugs, the developers are releasing rapid fire updates to accommodate issues that come up.  

Overall it's been such an upgrade in terms of user enjoyment over using M-Connect.  Yes there are some issues.  I've been experiencing track skipping on occasions, but I know the dev team is working on that.

I love how you can have both your Tidal and Qobuz account on the JPLAY app and the search function allows you to select which record from which service and which version to play.  Also the metadata and any liner notes available are more more accessible with JPLAY.  Lastly, it's a beautiful looking app.

The cost for the app is about $54.

I hope they somehow figure out a way to include Idagio at some point.

Anyone else?

I no longer can access jplay.eu on my laptop . I have tried different options but jplay.eu still remains unobtainable.So I tried on my android phone and have the same issue. So has this website been compromised?

@bobby1945 - I'm able to access jplay.eu but it is marked as "Not Secure" in the Brave browser. Maybe you have some security software or your browser which is blocking the site. 

This is an older thread I am just now stumbling upon. I joined Jplay on a trial basis two weeks ago and decided to buy an annual membership. I have a lifetime subscription to Roon.. but my default player is Squeeze Server -  a.k.a. LMS server. In our experience as Antipodes users, it sounds infinitely better than Roon, but not quite as good as Squeeze. In percentage terms I'd say Squeeze is perhaps 5-10% better sounding. Some say 3%. For some with top shelf gear the gap can be 1--15%. The distinction is palpable: Squeeze is a little "airier" with a wee bit more "meat on the bones." But the integration of Qoobz with Jplay is superb and since it is close enough to Squeeze, I use it more often bc of its interface.
