Amarra a worthy investment?

I am using the trial version of Amarra, I personally don't notice a huge improvement that justify the price, but I would to hear from your experience about what version better for 2 channels audio with DAC, i own Hegel HD11 and PS audio perfect wave.
Maybe i am not using it on correct way.
Happy thanksgiving day, a million things to be thankful for....

I experienced the same thing with Puremusic that you are with Amarra. Did the trial and wasn't impressed with the SQ difference it made.

in fact i think that color the music in a way i dont like or enjoy cause I am vinyl lover that hate tech changes on original recordings and pressings,
i am not buying Amarra. Itunes AIFF via DAC good enough for digital. never will sound analog anyway

I remember before digital was invented, vinyls were criticized for being "colored". In fact all audio reproductions are colored in one way or the other. The essence of this hobby is to pursue the kind of coloration that one enjoys most. It is 100% subjective. If you like it, you like it; if you don't, you don't. I personally listen to both vinyl and digital and I enjoy them both.

Back to your Amarra question. Since you don't like its sound, it will not be a worthwhile investment for you. Personally I like Audirvana plus best. The latest Puremusic v1.88 just came out is quite good too but its UI is a bit ugly and complex to use. IMHO of course.
