Pure Vinyl/Amarra

I bought Pure Vinyl after having the demo Amarra for the last 90 days.

To my ears PV just does more for me. More depth of soundstage and more info. Amarra is just to much $$$.

Any thoughts on the two.

Pure Music gets my sonic nod due to memory playback and Hog. Amarra 2.1 will have memory playback. The differences in sound between the two programs my diminish. But functionally, the programs are quite different.

One thing I have noticed is that PM maintains a gapless album perfectly - no annoying breaks between tracks. Amarra, on the other hand, seems to put just a very brief break in between "gapless" tracks. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, not sure. In PM, the gapless tracks are all loaded into memory before playing. I'll see if Amarra maybe does the same.
