The final step was to configure the convolution engine within JRiver Media Center to apply these filters during playback. Playback is limited to PCM files (no DSD).Real-time convolution means playback controls have a few seconds of extra lag.However, there are a few issues with this setup: This system sounds great (to me, at least), and the JRemote tablet interface works really well. The first two are no big deal I generally listen to entire albums or playlists, so lag is a non-issue once the music starts. I also only have a tiny handful of DSD tracks which, if I cared, could be converted to high-rez PCM files. However, that last issue–no TIDAL streaming–has been a major bummer! When someone suggests new music, I can login to TIDAL and preview it on my laptop but hearing what it really sounds like in the Loft must wait until I buy the CD or download it from HDtracks. When a friend drops by for a listening session without a thumb drive containing their favorite reference tracks, they are stuck wandering aimlessly through my collection. Until now, my only hope has been for a TIDAL player like roon to add a convolution feature or for JRiver to add support for TIDAL streaming. Sadly, neither of these things are likely to happen anytime soon. Other alternatives like feeding JRiver’s WDM or ASIO driver from a local TIDAL streamer proved unreliable at best. #Jriver media center play from my network driver# I’ve spent more hours than I care to admit trying to get TIDAL lossless streaming and digital room correction working together in the Loft. #Jriver media center play from my network driver#.
