Fantastic sound and great interface.

JPLAY has a very well designed interface for playing your music to any DAC that supports UPnP/DLNA. It works seamlessly with Qobuz and Tidal and can stream from your NAS. Importantly, it sounds fantastic and is much better than Roon with my PS Audio PMG 512. I bought the lifetime subscription after using it for only a week.

Nice app

Excellent for HQPlayer

There is native support for HQplayer, which replaces the HQP app on IPad. The app is very intuitive and easy to use.

Would be good to have a monthly subscription model

World’s best music software

When all factors are taken into account; user interface, quality of customer service, updates, performance in regards to stability, cost, and of course sound quality, Jplay is the best I have used. I am a Roon lifetime subscriber and I barely use it anymore.
