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.

PM fan here. I agree that the decision is system dependent. But for me PM makes the music I listen to sound less digital - fuller and more lush. I think 1.63 is really good, they seem to have ironed out most of the kinks.

Svenerik, I agree. 1.63 seems to have taken care of issues I was having. It does indeed make digital less digital....

Agear - I also stream music wirelessly from my Apple iMac to an Airport Express in another room and then via a Genesis Digital Lens to my DAC. Did you figure out a solution to streaming music through Pure Vinyl without Airfoil? Many thanks in advance for your advice.

Many thanks,
Neville

Hi Neville. Nope, still need Airfoil. Its only a $25 program so don't hesitate. Amarra used to have the same requirement. I know they are working on it but was told it won't happen any time soon....

Hi Agear - many, many thanks for the information. I'll be updating my iMac soon (currently an old G5) and will certainly give it a try once I have my new computer up and running.

Do you find that Pure Vinyl + Airfoil sounds a lot better on redbook tracks than just streaming from iTunes? What improvements do you hear?

Many thanks,
Neville
