Do you know any audiophile music player for Windows?

 
Jriver media center is the best I found for windows when I had a pc music server last year. It is able to control anything in your audio setup and also has a memory play option. Very easy gui to get used to and to optimize.

What is the current price for the full version of Amarra?  Is it $99.   
 
Audirvana cannot handle loading a large iTunes library.  I have a library of 6240 song and as soon as it finishes loading Audirvana quits.  Anyone else have a problem with a large library transfer?

That's the junior version of Amarra that nobody wants, the mini version is $295 and the full version is $695. With iTunes > PureMusic, I have 10,320 songs and still going strong

audirvana isnt designed for library management, its just supposed to have reasonably sized playlists...

I have not been following  up on the Amarra but I was getting interested in purchasing the Junior version at $99. Would you please expand on why "nobody wants" the $99 version? Thanks.

I haven't tried Amarra personally because of the single-license issue. But the complaints that I have read about junior version were mainly regarding the interface.

 

[mrspeakers]

I believe the Jr. has no provision for upsampling (too lazy to verify tonight, so correct-away if I am wrong).  \
 
I would personally not invest in any product that didn't support the cool things you can do with a little CPU...  

 

[grokit]

Yeah all three versions have different upsampling levels (including none) but on the junior version it's the stand-alone mini player that seems to inspire complaints.

 

[mrarroyo]

So as of now you all have not listened to the Jr Version, correct? No disrespect is meant, just thought most of you commenting had listened to it. Thanks.

 

[grokit]

I never commented on the way it sounds if you are referring to me.

Had a listen. I do prefer iTune's sound and interface. What is special about VOX other than it being compatible to a wide variety of file format?

It's totally configurable, sample rate and bit depth, various filters, all core audio plug ins supported, plays all music from your own playlists and from drag and drop playlists from inside iTunes, on and on........  Converts files en mass from one format to another.  Upsamples on the fly or multiple files up front.  etc...

Hi .
I've been following this thread for a while and want to ask for a recommendation.
My library is almost all FLAC and APE. I'm switching to Mac soon and I want a player that can handle FLAC and APE with big library size (2TB) and very important to me - CUE sheet support for my lossless files. Is there a solution which can grant me all my wishes?
Thanks in advance.
