Preparations for the Audio Video Show, Poland's largest exhibition of audio and video equipment, are in their final stage. On the last weekend of October, 180 exhibitors at the PGE Narodowy Stadium and the Radisson Blu Sobieski and Golden Tulip hotels will showcase the capabilities of top high-end equipment.
The event’s technology partner is JPLAY, known as the world’s best-sounding hi-fi application!
JPLAY is a software developed by Marcin Ostapowicz, designed for playing digital music with the highest sound quality. Its primary goal is to optimize the audio playback process on computers, minimizing the negative impact of various hardware and software factors on sound quality. This solution is for those who highly value audio quality and are ready to take extra steps to achieve it.
Marcin Ostapowicz, a Wrocław native, has long been a passionate music and technology enthusiast. He is the owner and co-founder of not only JPLAY but also JCAT and XACT brands.
Marcin grew up in a home with strong musical traditions; his father is a professional musician and educator, and Marcin himself graduated from a music school, playing two instruments. However, his love for music and sensitivity to sound took a different, more technical path. “I quickly noticed the difference between CD players and began to wonder how to harness the potential (performance) of computers to play music,” he shares in his biography. The result was JPLAY, a program for playing audio files on a computer, first shaking the audiophile world in 2011. Today, he is recognized as a pioneer in file playback, and after years of improvements, JPLAY is widely regarded by users as the best application of its kind worldwide.

- The app provides seamless integration with Qobuz, Tidal, and local UPnP resources, allowing users to combine all their music into one library or access each music server and streaming service separately. Instant contextual searching and a smart radio feature make it easy to discover new music and see which tracks have caught the user’s attention.
- The JPLAY app for iOS is available in the App Store. It is compatible with iPhones, iPads, and Mac computers with M processors.
