Amarra vs. ROON

[Alve]

Hi Kevin

I tried Amarra to no avail, as It simply could not find my devialet with the CI in the window where you chose output (I got only HDMI and own output options and no devialet)... how did you connect your amarra? Audirvana does see devialet and sounds good, but man it is horrible as a control app... either my mac mini (late 2014 1,4 4gig) makes it slow and not worcable. The song management is just so bad compared to Lumin app that I'm used to. With lumin everything just works great. I wanted to sell the lumin, but now I'm scratching my head in thoughts... Functionally I do not need it, but what I tried of the players with mac don't work well.... Even roon gave me (the transport is in use) error. even after I reinstalled MAC OS... anyone has an advice? maybe my mac mini is the problem?

regards
Alex

Hi Alex

Make sure the Amarra settings are as shown below. If you still hear nothing then disable air (while Amarra is playing track) and then immediately re-enable Air (WiFi or Ethernet) - don't quit Air.  I find Air often does not connect with these players first time and you often have to disable/enable to 'lock on'

Hi Kevin, thanks for helping. Somehow I cannot chose Devialet. I do not have an option to chose it in the settings in the output Dropbox. The only 2 options I get built in output and HDMI. It does not see Devialet even if I switch betwin air and upnd....
