JPLAY Certified - Métronome Technologie and Kalista as new partners

The software manufacturer JPLAY describes its eponymous solution JPLAY for Apple iOS as a reference in the field of HiFi apps, whereby it is designed equally for the playback of content from your own network as well as various streaming services and is characterised in both cases by intuitive operation and unique performance, as well as signal processing at the very highest level, according to the developers.

For some time now, the JPLAY for Apple iOS app has been trying to establish a partner programme called JPLAY Certified, which already offers a number of well-known manufacturers in the streamer and network DAC sector. The French High-end HiFi manufacturer Métronome Technologie and its Kalista brand have now joined the programme.

JPLAY for Apple iOS

According to the developers, the JPLAY for Apple iOS solution combines playback of content from your own network with direct access to streaming services from TIDAL and Qobuz. The focus is on particularly simple, even intuitive operation.

It is up to the user whether they want to summarise all their music in a media library or manage content from the local music server and that from streaming services separately.

It goes without saying that the JPLAY for Apple iOS solution offers the user a wide variety of views, allows flexible searching and enables content to be managed using playlists.

The JPLAY for Apple iOS app is designed for music lovers, especially those who demand the highest sound quality. The app is characterised by the fact that it offers outstanding performance, which is achieved in particular by reducing the data transfer between the app and the audio endpoint, such as the streaming device, to an absolute minimum. This also ensures that the highest possible quality is guaranteed, while other apps, according to the developers of JPLAY for Apple iOS, cause high network utilisation and thus unwanted noise that impairs the sound quality.

JPLAY Certified

JPLAY for Apple iOS works seamlessly with almost every streamer or network DAC on the market, according to the developer’s promise, because it does not require a special core and simply works using the industry standard UPnP.

Nevertheless, the company has been striving for years to establish its own partner network, namely with manufacturers in the streamer and network DAC sector, in order to guarantee smooth cooperation between their solutions and the JPLAY for Apple iOS app and, as they say, to realise pure bit-perfect streaming. As already mentioned in the introduction, this partner programme is called JPLAY Certified.

JPLAY Certified is intended to ensure that corresponding solutions always guarantee smooth playback via the JPLAY for Apple iOS app, and that the best possible quality is guaranteed.

The software company has already been able to win a number of well-known manufacturers for this partner programme, such as XACT, Weiss Engineering, Totaldac, Bricasti, Hegel Music Systems, Antipodes, Vermeer Audio, Keces Audio, dCS, MSB Technology, EverSolo, Cary Audio, Ayre Acoustics and now also Nagra and Métronome Technologie and its Kalista brand.

Métronome Technologie and Kalista as new partners at JPLAY Certified

Several solutions from the French High-end HiFi manufacturer Métronome Technologie are now JPLAY Certified, as well as a handful of products from the Kalista brand.

The solutions Métronome DSS 2, Métronome Le Player 4, Métronome Le Player 4+, Métronome Le Streamer, Métronome AQWO 2, Métronome AQWO 2+, Métronome t|AQWO 2 and Métronome c|AQWO 2 are now JPLAY Certified.

For the Kalista brand, the Kalista DreamPlay X and Kalista DreamPlay XC solutions are now also JPLAY Certified.

Prices and availability

Users who own a solution that is now labelled as JPLAY Certified do not have to do anything, this is done automatically and is therefore not associated with any costs. This means that the corresponding products, be it a streamer or network DAC, are available for playback directly via the JPLAY for Apple iOS app.

Getting to the point

The software company JPLAY promises pure bit-perfect streaming for its JPLAY for Apple iOS app of the same name via JPLAY Certified solutions from a wide range of hardware manufacturers, be it streamers or network DACs. Fortunately, JPLAY’s partners in this programme now also include Métronome Technologie, which can identify not only all corresponding products under its own name, but also those of the Kalista brand as JPLAY Certified.
