Laufer Teknik Memory Player and Mini

I would like to start a new thread concerning the Memory Player and Mini.
It has come to my attention that there are other owners who may either have questions or have experience with Sam's products that can help fellow owners with regards to setup and usage.

As for me, I own the Mini.
Though I bought it for playing my CD collection, my current usage would be to use it for streaming Quobuz, Tidal, and other streaming apps-which I know is not using it for its' main purpose, but I haven't opened a CD in 3 years and doubt I will do so in the future.
I would also like to use the Mini as a Network Player like the Bluesound Node, but have no idea how that might work, nor if it is possible.

Thank you Uberwaltz for responding. Thing is, all was well when I was using JRiver with my Mac Mini and AIFF files. There's something about how JRiver is dealing with my WAVE64 files. Granted, WAVE64 is somewhat of a novelty for file playback, but that's what Laufer Teknik recommends. I looked at my JRiver settings before, but I'll poke around some more to see if there's something I missed.

Thanks for posting guys.
I know there are other Memory Player owners on Agon and hope they will chime in with recommendations.
@thaluza .
The only other advice I can offer is to try calling Sam and have him explain the best practices. He seems to be more available during the weekends. So, if you can call him during the week, say Friday, and see if he can spend some time, I think it would be time well spent.
FWIW, I find Sam to be very helpful, but the many facets of running a business seems to stretch him thin. I believe a little patience and brainstorming here on Audiogon will give us the answers we need.

A little late to this party...

I have been enjoying my MP64 for a couple of years now. When you rip a CD into wav64, it gets in only limited metadata. Assuming you are using the dbpoweramp as setup by Sam and Mark, you will have the track number as part of the file name. You can go to the album in jriver, order the tracks based on file name, select all tracks, right click and chose fill track # from filename. Be careful you don't select more than one album as the track numbers can get mixed up.

Thank you soulforged. Much appreciated. I will try your suggestion.

Roon has been working well for me as far as getting the track numbers correct, but I will re-visit JRiver. I will also compare the audio quality of the two and see if I can tell a difference.
