JRiver is the one to go for. Good SQ, library functions and customization. Use JRemote from your portable device to control it.JPlay lacks in ease-of-use and features although it's SQ is good.Fidelizer is not a music player. 
What speaker cables can complete with Audience 24e or 24e SE for less $$
I own Audience SE and have tried many others. Most of the other cables mentioned in this post except Purist are not in the same league at all. Sorry to burst your bubbles. 
Room treatment-I was afraid of this
I'd also like to ask if anyone has experience or stories to share about the Michael Green Audio acoustic "pillow"-type products. Universal acclaim for GIK et al., but tough to find anything on the MGA stuff. Thanks. 
What are the limits of room correction/ treatments ?

Purist Audio Dealers
Cable company crappy service high prices!! Axe to grind? Using Cable Co. for 20 years, good service. Not high prices, just retail prices. Most of their products cannot be found cheaper, or not without a lot of effort or "connections".

why not just get a soundcard and get away from the horror of usb? Bad USB is a myth. A good USB setup rivals or bests any other any other method. Some of the best digital audio I’ve heard, and that’s a lot, was on USB.

Should I buy a Class A Amp.
My amp sounds better with some types of music than others. I base my findings on empirical evidence and what I hear, not on theory.Nothing mythical about that.
