@pedalhead I don't have any problems with JRiver stand alone or even when streaming in my house (zones). It's just that I wanted to use Roon (for metadata, artwork and Tidal) and was getting worked up for nothing :(
I'm very happy with JRiver as a standalone playback software.
@Azteca It really feels like the end of the road for the marriage between great metadata and great VST management :(
I can't see how the Roon-team ever will support VST's and I haven't seen any efforts with jRiver to improve metadata support.
Yes, Roon has very solid technical reasons for not implementing VSTs. It needs to be done at the endpoint, outside of Roon, for their network protocols to work. I do not fault them in the slightest. However, JRiver's WDM driver just never worked as well as I would've liked. I will be dipping back into it when I get a chance to try out the IVS in a month or three but I am being cautious in my expectations.
