JPLAY has received a major update that expands the app with one of the most requested features in its recent history - full support for the HQPlayer library. For hi-fi users, this may be a more significant change than a simple feature list would suggest, because JPLAY has never positioned itself as just another app for playing music. From the beginning, it has functioned as a specialized control center for listeners using streamers, network DACs, services such as Qobuz, Tidal and HighResAudio, and local UPnP libraries. Now it adds the ability to browse and control an HQPlayer library directly from within JPLAY, alongside dynamic Smart Playlists, a completely new History screen with a calendar view and several refinements based on community feedback. The update is available in the latest version of the app as a free upgrade for existing users through the App Store.

JPLAY has added HighResAudio as its third integrated streaming service alongside TIDAL and Qobuz, further strengthening its position as a playback application focused on high-quality audio and multi-source library management within a single interface. The new partner service specialises in studio-quality hi-resolution recordings, offering lossless streaming up to 24-bit/192 kHz together with access to a virtual storage space for purchased music. This combination may be particularly appealing to listeners who treat high-resolution files as a primary listening format rather than simply an extension of conventional streaming. Integration with HighResAudio is already available in the latest version of the JPLAY app. After signing in to a HighResAudio account from within JPLAY, users gain access to the platform's full streaming catalogue and can browse it in the same unified environment used for other supported services.
