Works flawelssy over here on Lion since version 2.4 and SQ wise it beats the other three I have by a margin.
Wasn't a fan of v2.3 either though.

Stil on SL here, just despise Lion. Will wait for ML though. Funny thing is plenty of people complain about how buggy it still is on Lion.
Wish Amarra would step up their game!

playing FLAC on my MAC, sweet!

I use Fidelia when I really want to sit back and just listen to music, if I only want to listen to a quick song I'll switch to Decibel. I upgraded to ML and both work flawlessly.
Also tried the latest version of amarra and it was very buggy.

How do you install plugins in Fidelia using Mountain Lion?


The Library folder is not visible the usual way.
Never mind. From the mouth of children I learn...

Click on "Go" in the finder menu bar and press option, you'll see "Library" appear.

Just downloaded the trials of both Amarra and Fidelia.  Amarra's interface is atrocious, so that one is out of the question.  Fidelia seems fairly nice, especially for the price.  I wish this "player" wasn't so huge though; I've only got a MacBook 13 inch, and it takes up almost half the screen.  I don't see a way to resize it either.
 
As far as sound quality, I don't really notice a difference between any of them.  I was using Audirvana free, but apparently it's busted after I upgraded to Mountain Lion.

You should be able to resize Fidelia under the view menu

try the audirvana plus beta that's currently out.  IMHO it beats fidelia in every now including soundstage which, to me, has always been fidelia's strong point
 
I do own both btw.

Speaking of Audirvana, what exactly does Integer Mode do? I've read that Lion doesn't support it. Is that a bad thing?

Audirvana and Fidelia both use Integer Mode, so I would think the sound would be practically the same, unless you're using some of the equalization or crossfeed functions of Fidelia.

 

[Jmstrmbn]

integer mode is supported again and you can download the beta for free
 
fidelia and audirvana plus imho sound totally different with the latter providing a smoother sound.

Ah thank you for the resource Currawong, that was really useful. Now I understand, at a much more detailed level, why Audirvana [free] sounds so much better than other music players I use (Clementine and iTunes).
