Pure Vinyl/Amarra

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

Yeah, it does sound better (to my surprise). There was better body (or saturation) along with slightly better detail. Try the demo (you can demo Airfoil as well)....

Agear - many thanks once again. I'll definitely be trying it out soon.

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."

PM has a "netsend" feature that allows you to stream a Hi Rez audio stream to another (or several other) computer(s). This is an alternative to using an airport that should yield higher sound quality, but it requires another computer, and DAC at the receiving end. An older mac could be used for this.

The Netsend option does exist as you describe Svenerik, but it requires extra hardware and thus defeats the purpose.
