I bought a dictionary, took the LP sleeve (yeah I'm that old) and looked up the lyrics word by word. In fact I learned English thanks to music: I was so enchanted by the Beatles as a kid that I absolutely had to know what they were talking about. 'Personally I was into music long before computers. Sidebar: I asked JPlayвЂ™s developers Marcin Ostapowicz and Josef Piri to provide a little background info. Also used during this review was Calyx AudioвЂ™s excellent new statement Femto DAC which IвЂ™ll write about next. A 1m Transparent Audio USB cable connects my laptop to John KennyвЂ™s excellent JKSPDIF Mk3 USB-SPDIF converter which in turn links to my Audiomat Tempo 2.6 DAC via a 1.5m MIT Magnum Digital or Sablon AudioвЂ™s prototype Panatella digital cable. I keep backup FLAC copies on a pair of WD My Passport HDDs. However this has been corrected in the latest version of JPlay which was sent to me just prior to publication.Д¬urrently I store my music as WAV files on a 1TB external hard drive which attaches to my HP laptop via FireWire. This usually happened when I stretched my computerвЂ™s resources too far or when I attempted to pause or skip a track. Occasionally JRMC would crash when using the JPlay for JRiver plug-in. I experimented with JPlay mini for several months and found it to be a solid stable program. Since I had no issues running Hibernate Mode in FullScale mode I did not try the other settings.

As there may be compatibility issues with some hardware drivers and anti-virus programs, there are various levels of Hibernate Mode with the best-sounding but most aggressive and hence least compatible FullScale down to the more compatible yet supposedly decent sounding ViaUSB. Perhaps this feature should be renamed Possession Mode as losing control of my laptop certainly evoked thoughts of The Exorcist (minus the head spinning and green vomit). Your screen will go black, keyboard and mouse will stop functioning.

Once you have loaded an album, track or playlist into Hibernate Mode, you lose control of your PC until playback is finished. Hibernate Mode is arguably the most powerful feature which shuts down every non-essential process including I/O devices and leaves just enough computer resources to play music but nothing else. Since it is generally recommended to use the highest bit depth your DAC/soundcard supports, I set this at 24-bit. Bitstream (native, 24, 32) allows users to expand bit depth on 16-bit recordings provided their DAC supports 24 or 32 bits.

Polarity (normal, inverted) allows users to compensate for music recorded in inverted polarity. Bitperfect Volume (-6dB, -12dB, -18dB, -24dB, -30dB) offers digital volume control for users without a preamp. Overdrive (on/off) applies to Hibernate Mode (see below) and will push your computerвЂ™s CPU to the limit such that it may cause overheating issues with ultra-thin laptops or computers with poor cooling capabilities. Throttle (on/off) reduces background processes and systems threads to a bare minimum and further optimizes the userвЂ™s computer for sound quality. Note that Xtream uses considerable memory and as a result playback can be delayed by up to 20 seconds while music files are being loaded. The difference is how each engine uses RAM.

All three offer bit-perfect playback but utilize different caching algorithms. There is no processing, equalization or any signal manipulation with any of them. JPlay also offers three playback engines to choose from: River, Beach and Xtream.

VST instrument plugins produce new audio that mimics the sound of real instruments such as a guitar or piano, while VST effect plugins modify existing audio to create unique sounds instead of creating new audio. There are two main categories of free VST plugins: instruments and effects.
