Amarra For Mac

Amarra is a high-resolution audio player that supports a wide range of formats, including DSD, DSF, MQA, AIFF, FLAC, WAV, AAC, ALAC and MP3. It conveniently lets you organize all your music from a single application. In this respect, it is excellent that it integrates perfectly with iTunes to access your local libraries. Updated Amarra Lux to version 4.3.500 and now the remote app does not work. Unlike some others, I have not had many problems with Amarra Lux until I upgraded to version 4.3.500. Now Amarra Play (the remote app on my iPad) now longer connects to Lux.

Amarra Play brings you the tools to get the music you love right at your fingertips. Play your Apple Music and FLAC files and choose from powerful EQ presets and pick what sounds best to you! Upgrade with in-app purchase for full Amarra EQ and MQA decoding.

And when you want to relax at home, use Amarra Play as a remote for Amarra Luxe and Amarra sQ+ to sit back and enjoy your music.
