ARCAM Radia

SA35 사용중입니다. 소리는 그럭저럭 괜찮은데요. 앱이 진짜 쓰레기입니다. 이 앱 개발자는 개발 그만두고 다른 직업을 찾아보는게 어떨까요. 조만간 앰프 변경하려구요. 안 좋은 경험만 쌓여가네요.

I just bought the new Arcam SA35 integrated streaming amplifier as an upgrade from my NAD C388 which was frustrating insofar as streaming was concerned. To be clear, the SA35 blows away the NAD in both functionality and sound quality, but the Radia app definitely lags the BluOS functionality of the NAD. First and foremost, the Qobuz integration in the Radia app is downright awful. While it does maintain a reliable connection, unlike BluOS in the NAD, the UI is not only totally unattractive, but missing key data like the artist’s name when viewing albums in Qobuz’ recommended album view. I wish there was some way to incorporate Qobuz’ GUI and ease of use into the Radia app. Doing so would significantly increase the end-user experience and go a long way to addressing most if not all the criticisms the app has generated.

No control over the device settings (other than network connection). Supports only a couple streaming services and has no way to sort playlists. Provides a few internet radio presets that can’t be customized. Less functional than an AM radio from 1950s.
