I think nunobrazuna is referring to a new Antipodes app that has the potential of elevating the sound quality of the current squeeze configuration, that, by the way I would not even call a player app. It is more like an optimal configuration based on a combination of two chosen apps running on server and player respectively. As for player apps, Antipodes users depend on other developers (Material, iPeng and the like) and we get a bit of everything.
Besides providing superiour sound quality, an other feature that could be included is to effortlessly explore your music. Or as Innuos calls it;
Sense App, Changing the way people interact with music. It offers one place to browse, play and manage your entire music library. It is sleek and responsive allowing you to immerse yourself in what matters most, your …(see Innuos website)
So yes, I also do support this idea whether at launch it is better or not than squeeze+squeeze. And besides, as comparison Roon came a long way regarding interface but also soundwise. Sure it can be beat, but not that easy. And who else is better placed than Antipodes to get the best out of the streamer /player boards and optimise UI integration with the hardware?
At least a new Software /Player app for Antipodes streamers has the potential to evolve in a better player app. Roon had the potential of becoming the ultimate player visually (it did actually) and soundwise (ok, it did not). Maybe now the time has come for others to improve on Roon for I guess quite a small but important and growing group of audiophiles. Antipodes for now chose to depend on the Squeeze development (and Roon, MPD, HQplayer and so on) but they could go their own way with a specific Player app for Antipodes streamers. I think it would be great if the idea could have the support here of many Antipodes users.
