I found my answer-it just costs $10 a month if you pay for an annual subscription. John Darkos article on Digital Audio Review provides the results of a blind taste test by the Sydney Audio Club of these players on a Mac.
It’s very basic and very easy to use while offering the critical features such as exclusive device access mode, cache memory playback, and automatic sample rate conversion. Decibel is the simplest player of the bunch. It plays my music with lots of additional notes about the group and pieces. OS X Audio Players: Amarra, Audirvana, Pure Music, Fidelia, Decibel, and BitPerfect. I entered my Qobuz credentials and I was connected. I use Amarra Symphony on my mac, and demoing Amarra 4 Luxe at the moment. The Tidal integration is smooth and great, and that Tidal integration carries over to the remote app seamlessly. Audirvana has the most developed, cleanest interface with the most back-end stability that I've seen so far. Constantly got emails offering premium upgrades. Ive bought Amarra Luxe but dont find the sound as good as audirvana. Amarra is a mess, Roon is too expensive for just this application.
AMARRA VS AUDIRVANA VS PURE MUSIC HOW TO
I couldn’t figure out how to connect it to my music collection and they seemed more interested in getting me to upgrade to the premium version than getting me connected to my music. This meant that when a phone call came in over my computer, rather than automatically let the phone app take over, I had to go to the Audirvana app, turn off the song and then answer the phone on the computer. It has an entry price of only 20 and even adding the advanced module and FHX crossfeed module it's still a bargain.
AMARRA VS AUDIRVANA VS PURE MUSIC PLUS
The app gathered up my music just fine, but the deal killer for this app was that it would take over control of the volume on the computer. I've auditioned Amarra and Audirvana Plus as well as Pure Music and found that Fidelia offered the most value in terms of SQ and features for the money. Pure Musics upsampling was very compelling. Seems to me any player should be sending the same 1s and 0s to the DAC. They both sound slightly more robust than iTunes, and that in itself is dismaying. Testing was done with a grab-bag folder of 4000 tracks. I have a large music collection that is a combination of iTunes purchased music and ripped CDs.įirst stop was Audirvana. Ive just recently tried the demo Audirvana, and am in the middle of a Pure Music trial.
I was looking for an iTunes replacement to listen to music I have purchased.
