JRiver 19 playback

Upgraded from version 17 to 19, whoopie. While I enjoy the sound, I dont feel that the Jriver is all that easy to use for the layman or at least me. The Wikki is all over the place and I've spent hours on Computeraudiophile.com with a plethora of threads.
System is PC, USB out to Benchmark DAC2 HGC. Which has its complexities in itself.
1) I still have the version 17 on my computer which plays fine. The version 19 only plays out of the computer speakers and not out the USB. It played out the USB for a while but alas, not now. Where or what are the settings for this? I dont believe I changed anything, but evidently I must have.
2) The version 17 has six or seven playback options; ASIO, MP3, etc. Where 19 seems to have only three. Is there more that I need to click on to show up in the options?
3) Is there a really good place for setup tips that is a step by step for the techno-impared like me? Simple is what myself (and I am hoping others) need.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and any input.

Your DAC accepts up to 192 KHz and DSD files. In the Audio setup screen, select DSP and make sure that all the freqencies up to 192 KHz are set to No Change. If you are using DSD files, also select the option to Bitstream and select the DoP option.

Unfortunately, it does take a bit to learn all the options of the program.

If you have other questions, please ask.

If you don't see your device you may have to re-install the driver for your DAC.

Just signed up with JIVER, and got my confirmation email along with a registration #, however the KEY # isn't there. There was an attachment that looks like this:
MEDIA CENTER 19 WINDOWS....245247... and when it is down loaded, and opened up , it doesn't display any KEY CODE. I need this key code to get JRIVER JREMOTE to sync up with my APPLE IPAD. Any thought on how one finds this mysterious KEY CODE # ?

CHEERS............T.

Sounds like you are looking for the DLNA access key which you will find at Tools>Options>Media Network where you will see the access key up at the top of the Options window.
