Last June I took Spotify and Qobuz on a diversion via PureMusic’s Streamthrough (formerly PlayThrough) but ended up at an. Mike Jbara, CEO of MQA: “ It’s good news for music fans that we continue to expand the reach of MQA through partner integrations and the Amarra range is a great addition. Not the porcine kind but the audible distortion that plagued this reviewer’s first foray into streaming audio quality amelioration on a Mac. With Windows MQA support coming soon our future plans include iOS integration for MQA streaming/offline playback, DSP processing and more.” With direct MQA decoding, consumers will now experience unrivaled music reproduction.
Amarra hifi review for mac#
Jonathan Reichbach, CEO of Sonic Studio: “ Sonic Studio is excited to release the first MQA integration and experience for the Amarra family of products. I'm rather new to the whole audiophile thing, I started listening to FLACs exclusively a few months ago, got myself a couple of expensive cans and an Amp/DAC I was just wondering was the benefit of using those kind of softwares, I tried Amarra's free trial and I couldn't perceive any difference currently I'm using Tidal Hi-Fi running on Chrome and VOX for Mac for my own FLACs. They just boost certain frequencies for a different perceived sound, and some people might find that better. They don't make anything sound better (better is subjective).

Amarra 4 Luxe supports Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) or higher as well as Windows 8 & 10 (MQA pending). I think products like Amarra and SRS take advantage of the whole concept of 'good sound quality'. It’s a dizzying selection of inputs and features.

With Amarra 4 Luxe users can sort, search, navigate, and play back their entire music collection. Amarra users without an MQA-enabled DAC can enjoy MQA decoding at 2x sample rates (88.2kHz or 96kHz), while users with an MQA-Decoder enabled DAC will hear full MQA with the original master sample rate, platform-specific DAC compensation and sample rates up to 8x (352kHz or 384kHz). The cheapest one (Amarra Hifi) will set you back 50 while the higer end editions cost a couple of. Another top choice for professional users is Amarra which comes in three different flavors. At about 150 it is one of the more expensive choices in this review. MQA files are fully authenticated and small enough to stream or download, while also being backward compatible, so they can be played on any device.Īmarra 4 Luxe supports local MQA file playback and additionally supports TIDAL MQA Streaming for HiFi subscribers. Not really an essential feature but certainly nice to have for some audiophiles.
