freesteve Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Since September 29 I have sent Amarra emails requesting them to address an issue I have with Amarra for Tidal and I have yet to get a response: "Using Amarra for Tidal searches are problematic. Using Tidal by itself, all is well. When I use Amarra for Tidal and search for a group, click on a specific album I too often get other albums from them and not the one I selected. After the groups albums available are all displayed If I bounce back and forth with another album from the same group and the one I want, etc., eventually I will get the one I selected but that is an amazing waste of time. Please assist, thank you." HQ Player (#1) & Audrivana (#2) (wow! love the Apple w/music!!) .. these two software make my system "Amazing!", Purist USB- Benchmark DAC2 HGC (love it!), Purist Audio XLR , ATC SCM25A's (To Die For!) & Focal sub6 . Triode Power Cables with Uber Buss (Yes!) Also enjoy Audeze LCD3 w/"fat pipe cardas." Link to comment
Melvin Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Poor implementation, no? When I was still using the program I would simply open the Tidal desktop app, do my search, "favorite" the selection(s), and then reopen A4T. It was the only way to keep my sanity when using A4T. Link to comment

bobbmd Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Same or similar problems PLUS Sq+ doesn't work at all anymore and I get ticket#'s but nonsensical answers very disappointing . Also 'freesteve' I have funky responses on my 'audio MIDI' the input device should be SonicStudio output should be my Schiit Gungnir or FULLA yet I cannot get the speaker icon to stay there it jumps to sonic which is not an 'output' device and now suddenly if I use ROON/ROON+HQP it jumps to my HDMI output and sometimes for no reason music comes out of the mac mini speakers! Same thing happens if I listen to Qobuz sometimes get no music if in 'preferences' I use SonicStream or core audio SonicStream'. It's as tho audio MIDI has a mind of its own and I don't know if any of these 'players are even giving me improved sound or functioning.Plus I sometimes can't get above 44000Hz on formate even if I check 96000Hz or 192000 on respective player settings Amarra for TIDAL's search engine is I agree problematic same songs aren't found as you find them on TIDAL alone but I have similar issues with A+(Audirvana). I asked several different times about HPQ/ROON and now suddenly it WORKS with ROON then sometimes doesn't so I don't know if I am truly getting the benefit of IT'S supposed improved SQ-all very strange sort like the XFILES Link to comment
freesteve Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 I enjoy the sound of Amarra with Tidal Unfortunately it's a nightmare to make it work properly... Amarra got back to me with a solution that did no work.. UGGH!

AnotherSpin Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 After spending about 1K on Amarra and plus software I stopped using it completely about two years ago, I guess. This product family is complete anachronism, imho. Link to comment
sockpit Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 See "amara (sic) for tidal" thread for details and my early suggestion that you'd do well to tuck "audirvana" away for a rainy day. Anachronism is correct. So is robbery. I've moved on to mRendu and Lumin, Roon, etc. but Audirvana was everything for a computer player that Amarra isn't. Link to comment
freesteve Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 In colclusion, I enjoy Amarra for Tidal even with the glitches. As suggested by Melvin I have resigned myself to first search Tidal, saved my albums and the loaded Ammara for Tidal ... Extra steps... absolutely... and surely a mild pain, but the sound is sweet. The world is not perfect anyhow...

Jucun Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Hi Apple iOS for some reason don't support real DSD, only DoP, therefore it's limited to DSD 128, nothing we can do anything about. I use Amarra 3.0.3 and A+, DSD 256 don't work, in both photos is played DSD 256 Link to comment
Jucun Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Sorry , i want to write this in the "New Amarra 4" post. Link to comment
