JPLAY 4+

Finally, a top-notch HiFi streaming app

This app is just awesome. After trying almost a dozen other apps, this is the only one that does exactly what I wanted. I was able to seamlessly stream Qobuz to my KEF speakers with less than a minute of setup. The interface is clean and easy to navigate, and has some features that I love that seem basic but are surprisingly hard to find - like the ability to sort playlists by name and easily navigate through them (I have almost 1500, so good navigation is highly appreciated). Sound quality is far better than Airplay (and doesn’t bog down my network). Well worth the cost of the subscription.

Tiny flaws but not deal-breakers:
- Adjusting volume is a little cumbersome; it would be nice if that could be done using the buttons on the side of the phone.
- The ability to make fine adjustments to EQ would be take the app to the next level - though I’ll confess I don’t know whether this is technically possible over UPnP.

Thank you 🙏🙂

This is your DLNA/Upnp app, period.

I’ve tried them all, and this app *finally* what those of us who largely play local files need. The interface is clean, artwork is properly presented, and there is a “radio” feature that keeps tunes going after an album or playlist is done… and it is intelligent so it keeps the vibe similar. Do I like the subscription pricing? Not so much, but if they *keep* developing this, it will be worth it.

Excellent audiophile control point

Integrated well with JPLAY FEMTO server. Even better sounding than BubbleUPnP which was my go-to control point. Music search is intuitive, comprehensive, and in real time. Continuously updated for improved functionality, language coverage, and performance. Minimized network traffic and maximum polling rate result in optimal sound quality.
