Amarra sQ 2.3 for Mac
Mac AudioAmarra sQ 2.3 for Mac is a real-time audio enhancement utility from Sonic Studio. Unlike the Amarra players, it does not play your music files itself — instead it sits between your Mac and your speakers or headphones and processes every sound the system produces, so streaming services, web video, movies and voice calls all pass through Sonic Studio's mastering-grade processing.
It works through a virtual audio driver that routes system sound into the app, where a four-band parametric equaliser and the Audio Conditioner cleanup stage reshape it before output. Amarra sQ was a paid app, and the line continues today as Amarra sQ+, which is the current version Sonic Studio sells and supports — the official link below leads to that current product page.

How to Download
- Download from the official site

- Install the app together with its audio driver, select the driver as your Mac's output, and pick a preset that suits what you are listening to.
How is Amarra sQ different from Amarra Luxe?
Luxe is a player for your own music library and hi-res streaming accounts. sQ is a system-wide processor: it improves whatever is already playing, from any app, rather than playing files itself.
Is Amarra sQ still the current version?
No. Sonic Studio replaced it with Amarra sQ+, which added full 64-bit support for modern macOS releases. Buy or download sQ+ from the official page rather than hunting for old sQ installers on third-party sites.
