New Amarra 4

[AudioDoctor]

I paid a lot of money for Amarra. I was left with buggy software that can not even put one single Hi Res album into memory at a time. Not once did they update it or fix the problems. I will not be making that mistake again.

This is how Sonic Studios has operated since the beginning, literally for years and years.  And yet they keep going, and users keep buying.  For a certain type of customer, who likes a certain type of sound, Amarra is really the only viable choice - foibles and all.  Of course we all wish the functionality was better, but c'est la vie.

 

I was going to say exactly this.  It is why I did not buy version 4...  I paid way too much for the previous versions and refuse to be duped again.

 

All the problems in Ver. 3 that were never fixed should have been the red flag.

I just want to point out that Sonic Studio is currently charging more for Ver. 3 than for Ver. 4, by double...

 

Ver. 3, that can barely load a 24/96 album in memory.  Don't bother with anything higher, won't work.  Want to know why?  It is a 32 bit program and can only address 3GB of RAM.

As a veteran of the Amarra swamp lands, I eventually gave up entirely on it.  With Roon plus HQPlayer 4 (backend) I'm able to get equally good sound, and an infinitely better library management system and iPad remote.  Amarra was so tedious to use.  Roon is smooth like butter, never a glitch, ever.  I ended up buying a Roon lifetime license.

 

I was going to say this a bit ago before I was distracted here by one of my girls waking up. Roon and HQPlayer in a proper set up is IMO, the best playback software solution there is right now.
