Hi Guys, 

 

I'm wondering how many of you use remote devices (tablets/smartphones) to control playback and how many of you control playback directly on the PC. Please vote in the poll :)

 

Thank you in advance

 

Regards, 

Marcin

Shouldn't remote access (such as with Microsoft Remote Desktop) be a 4th option?

It's no different than controlling playback directly at the PC with mouse/keyboard

So you feel using usb mouse and keyboard does not affect SQ?

Best Android app I have found for SQ is Fidata. Problem is that it needs fairly modern phone or tablet.

Although Bubble gets better.

Any software or additional hardware running on PC has some impact on sound. It's inevitable.,

Yes. Plus you are using graphical user interface which eats resources.

Is using an Android/IOS device and a single PC, similar to a dual PC situation?

 

 

Thanks

Only in a way that control app does not run on the same PC as JPLAY (which is a good thing)
