Amarra sq review manual#

The flagship Amarra supports up to 384kHz, MINI up to 192kHz, and Junior up to 96kHz.

I think the differences in feature between the three versions are not incredibly crucial.Īdditionally, the flagship Amarra also has support for DSD to AIFF conversion, Vinyl restoration (with the addition of Amarra Vinyl), Amarra’s Full Sonic EQ (more on this later), High Resolution Precision Metering, and last but not least is the ability to have a dedicated window to list songs in your playlist (yes, you only get a playlist window with the $695 version). Say we’re looking at Junior in comparison to MINI and Amarra, the only feature I would miss is the Amarra EQ (the Junior’s EQ piggyback to the Itunes’ settings), the ability to create custom playlists for my FLAC files and the Cache Playback feature which allows you to play music from memory. But even then I think I can live without Cache Playback, and I definitely have no need for the more advanced functions of the Flagship Amarra such as Vinyl Restoration, High Resolution Metering, and DSD to AIFF conversion. Prior to the release of the latest version of Amarra 2.3.3 (4344), and MINI 2.2.3 (4290), I struggled to use them on a day to day basis, mainly due to software stability and bugs issues. The latest versions however are a big improvement and most of the issues have been remedied.

I talked to Ralph from Sonic Studio and he also mentioned that they are currently working to improve the user manual as well.īefore we continue, I’d like to note that I didn’t spend a lot of time with Junior, and was mainly using both MINI and Amarra.
