![]() ![]() In the end, I’d say it provides noticeable improvements across the board sonically speaking.Current version: 1.9, last update: 3 years agoĪmarra Play brings the highest quality playback to your IOS device. lossless and lossy files were presented simalarly, making one question which file type (lossy or lossless) was in play, as I don’t always discriminate when compiling a playlist, having various file types segregated from one another. This ‘new’ perspective on the music was delivered seemingly without regard to the file types. The sound stage seem more expansive and as such appeared better arranged at least latterally. Sonic cues gained more visibility and distinction. Vocal harmonies for example were made more individual and demonstrated greater separation with more space about them. Knowing a new itteration existed I ran thru a fav playlist using 3.2 first, then went thru the update process and repeated the playlist thereafter. ![]() 5K retina w/24GB RAM and i5 quadd core CPU running at 3.6GHz.Īs for the credibility of any increase in sonic performance over the 3.2 ver, I gotta admit 3.5 does seem more incisive and transparent. Overall, it makes me wonder why the update process requires one to manually download the newer ver rather than have the app itself handle the whole of the process. The existing A+ remote control mobile app automatically integrated itself to the new itteration via a six digit code, which once more was smooth and uneventful. I felt copying and pasting the orig key code to facilitate the update a needless step, but well, OK. it was a relief to see Audirvana maker attend to this part of the setup as an option during the update. size optimizer ? it announced the need for it and handled its incorporation seamlessly.Ī secondary installation process gets addressed as well with the install migrating its data out of the downloads folder and into the Apple Applications folder which Apple deems necessary to have this step done manually most all of the time. In this update process one facet of operation did need to be added/downloaded following the install. I don't have extensive history with A+ and only migrated fromn 3.2 to this latest release, A+ 3.5. apparently setting the app to check for them weekly is not enough, or it was just a timing glitch. Thanks for the heads up on a new ver being available. The ‘jury’ is still out as a full version of VOX and the ROON Labs apps are yet to be auditioned. So far, just on points alone, Audirvana Plus is ahead in this two horse race. I am leaing towards whatever app can be used and configured easily given my circumstances that will yield better performance. ![]() I’ve not taken into consideration the costs for each app yet. it is laid out well and easily navigable.īoth apps have a significant learnign curve to get the most from them and that process is ongoing. On SQ alone, its hard to say completely but on those files which both apps do render, as said, it is likely too close to call which is best.Īudirvana Plus had no issues surrounding installaton or playback of any file types or sampling rates.Īudirvana interface is read by Apple’s screen reading facility readily. It wil be necessary for anyone whose vision is so poor they can not navigate a mouse to contact amarra support and they will try to overcome this problem on a case by case basis. its an impossible item to over come with out sight or guidance from a sighted person. it occurs at the activation screen where one must use a mouse to click the appropriate button to continue using the app. There is one very important aspect to the installation and operation of the present Amarra app for those whose vision is restricted or severely impaired. Amarra support did in fact lend a hand with setup but there is still a configuration issue preventing Amarra from acting in a stand alone condition and playing Apple’s non supported file formats, FLAC. I’ve had significant issues with Amarra so far. not sure of their actual version numbers though. Switching over to MAC and needing a more formidable media player than iTuynes, I’ve been using the trial versions of both Amara and audirvana as of March 2019. Jumping in just to update this thread a tad from another perspective. ![]()
