![]() Whether from the comfort of your home or on the go, you can now listen to the award winning sound of Amarra anytime or anywhere. I hope these comments are helpful and would like to have any comments by the community about how Amarra compares in SQ with Roon, JRiver, or others.High resolution playback for your local music, Qobuz and TIDAL music streaming I am eagerly awaiting PS Audio’s new server/player as a potential acquisition. I have not yet heard either Roon or JRiver, but would like to. I don’t know if Audirvana can integrate Tidal and local files. MConnect often stops playing and gives an error message which is irritating when trying to listen to a full album. via Connect and any difference varies by each different Tidal MQA file. I notice little difference between the 96 unfold by Amarra over USB and the full 192 unfold of the same Tidal file played over the Bridge II DS Jr. I have created several including both Tidal and local files and have not lost any despite completely deleting all songs and re-scanning.Īmarra Luxe 4.2 will do the first unfold of Tidal MQA at 96. It moves albums to weird places.ĭon’t worry about losing playlists. The remote is not fully functional in my opinion. The artists view does not recognize all the Tidal artists. Use the albums view which sorts by artists. Thus, you can list “Mahler” as the album artist in I-Tunes and keep all Mahler files together rather than having say the Chicago Symphony be listed as the artist. So, uncheck in I-Tunes and make sure that the album artist is as you want it before scanning. Amarra will break up such files into separate albums. Watch out for albums that are marked “compilations”. This will modify the file in your library and will be recognized by Amarra when you click on “add to library” and select the folder on your music hard drive-then click save. Open KD3 click open and then find the album on your hard drive and select all tracks drop the artwork JPG in the designated spot correct title, album, song as necessary and click save. Solution for missing artwork and I assume metadata is to use KD-a free tagging program. The local library includes HD Tracks hi-res downloads and Blue Coast DSD. Since all of my local ripped files are AIFF and not WAV, the metadata came over from the largely I-Tunes library. via PS Audio LANrover to Amarra Luxe 4.2 because Amarra 4.2 can integrate local ripped files, downloaded files including DSD, and Tidal/MQA.Īfter scanning, many files arrived without artwork. I have moved from BitPerfect/I-Tunes(each with the Bill Ernst Secret sauce) on a MacMini USB to DS Jr. Which is probably why I haven’t tried DSD Master fro the Bitperfect yet – I can’t try it first I really like Amarra, especially the EQ function to (occasionally) Boost Bass (for wear recordings) Searching was an issue – and the Remote had no Album or Song infoīefore I buy another software package, I want to make sure it works. I am afraid of setting up lots of lots of playlists and such only to loose it later Annoying (and disappointing)Ī whole bunch of my music came in with no Artist or Album info – and I could not see how to fix itĪmarra would crash, and (at least once) I had to reload all the music. I had two issues which stopped me from yet purchasing it:ĭSD files would sometimes play 1/4 speed, or occasionally 4x speed - and then need to be restarted Amarra. I tried Amara, and had some great sounding files - even DSD. I have been able to play outstanding 16/44 files, 24/96 and 24/196 files, and wanted to try DSD. I have upgraded it with an SSD, 16 GB of RAM, and an AudioQuest Carbon USB cable. I have been using BitPerfect with my new SGCD for the last month - streaming music from my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011, running the latest OSX HighSierra 10.13.3).
