RE: Oh good grief!

Calling a competitive product a "hoax" is not what I would call ethical marketing. Because of this move, I added Jriver to my personal list of companies that I will not do business with. In addition to questions of ethics, I question their technical competences. Competent audio engineers should be able to hear differences due to computer tweaks or at least recognize the need to hire skilled listeners.

As to Jplay, they have no requirement to publish their "magic sauce". It's not like this is safety-critical software. Anyone who is sufficiently curious as to what they have done is free to purchase the product and do their own reverse engineering. I have taken a casual look at Jplay's marketing literature and haven't seen a blatantly false claim.
