Jplay Mini

I been using Jplay mini in Hibernation mode for a few weeks now and the results are stunning
If you have windows 7 or vista and like me a bit out out of your depth to build a dedicated computer based audio system then this will get you the similar results.
It will work with JRiver ITunes and Foobar as a plug in but the real magic is in full hibernation mould
It will take a ordinary DAC and transform it into something very special

Yes if using windows 7 or vista I think this is essential

I also agree. JPlay in hibernation (fullscale) mode is absolutely sublime. It has completely made me rethink what is possible with computer audio.

Question: I tried this mode and indeed the sound is excellent.

My problem is that once it started it continues until it ends. How can you PAUSE the playback(say your phone is ringing) or if impossible to pause, how to STOP this playback?

Thank you !

If it is in hibernation you cannot stop it
The idea is to cut down on what is happening in your computer so nearly all your functions is not working.
This is one of the reasons why it sounds so good
It will make a $300 DAC sound like a $3000 dac and beyond but you sacrifice user control

Johnjc- So do you just create or load a playlist that you want for the evening and select play>>>>then hibernate? and let it do its thing until you need to alter it or access the player? Thanks.

p.s. Is the music playing from the RAM memory? Do you suggest 6 or 8 GB?
