This is strange i have been trying different sources/servers and have rebuilt my library across 3 devices with 10,000 songs and 500+ movies didn't have a problem. I just re-read how you started the thread above. I started with the PC plugged into Integra 60.6 with hdmi cable so I thought to try some music concerts first, well after pointing it to my nas to add 320 files to the library it only showed about 100 of them and most with no cover art which I have placed in all the folders, not good so after playing around with settings and google searches I gave up and just First was Earth,Wind and Fire Fantasy in 24/96 and that classic clear low bass thump was lacking compared to what I am used so next Stevie Wonder Master Blaster and same thing very flat and lifeless so nope not mucking around with settings just unplug, connect back into Kodi and the difference was really night and day.Ī cool feature with Kodi is that you can set audio output to USB dac but leave pass through to HDMI avr so best of both worlds with no mucking around with settings for audio and video.

I have been a long time user of Kodi and just love it's quality and ease of use but after I kept on seeing absolute no mention of it on computer audio forums and constant mentions of Jriver I started to wonder so I grabbed a spare pc that had windows already installed and downloaded Jriver. Had a media player test today with Kodi and Jriver.
