For those of us who are not audiophiles and have very simple audio

Hi John, a common misconception.

Jackd is for audiophiles (compromising audiophiles)[*1].

[*1] Audiophiles use electrostatic speakers, Class A amplifiers, and
shun the crudities of "digital" sound (apparently).

They also sleep with a 78 rpm turntable under their pillow, include crackle and pops when they speak and keep a constant background noise source switched on. Not to mention the magnetic tape baths they take periodically. :)
