About

Amare Control

Read full description

Amare Control is the primary interface for Amare Musica players – music servers designed and built in Poland. The app connects to the device on your home network and gives you full control over your music, with no middlemen and no cloud. NOW PLAYING Artwork, title, recording format (FLAC, DSD, 24 bit / 96 kHz…) and a plain answer whether the signal is bit‑perfect. Pause, seek, favourites, amplifier volume, sleep timer. Control from the lock screen, headphones and Siri too. LIBRARY Albums from the player's drive and from streaming services in one place. Filter by quality (CD, Hi‑Res, DSD), source and format. Search, recently played, favourites. QUEUE What plays next – drag to reorder, swipe to remove. Repeat, shuffle, "play next". SIGNAL PATH Source, engine and output in one view – with a direct answer whether the audio data was altered on the way. Proof, not a claim. ROOM ACOUSTICS The player plays a test signal, the phone records it. The result shows where your room booms and where the bass disappears, saved for before/after comparison. We measure – we do not correct digitally. STATISTICS How much you listen, who you play most, and what share of it was bit‑perfect. DEVICE PANEL Seven views of the player's screen, brightness, artwork as background – all from your phone. SERVICES TIDAL, Qobuz and HighResAudio – you sign in directly with the provider; the app never sees your password. AirPlay, Spotify Connect and Roon work with the player as a target device. PRIVACY The app collects no data. No analytics, no ads, no accounts. It talks only to your player over the local network. DEMO MODE No player yet? Enter demo mode from the welcome screen and explore the app with sample data. Requires an Amare Musica player on the same Wi‑Fi network. Works on iPhone and iPad, in English and Polish.
