Pure Music or Amarra with iMac

Getting a music server system set up and bought a iMac especially for the purpose. This feeds via USB /I2S into my own DAC for best sound quality.

For playback what do you guys suggest Amarra or PureMusic, and how do you access your library remotely from an iPad or iPhone. I have gotten my toes wet with PS Audio PWD / eLyric and I think that the remote interface works extremely well with PS Audio but have had some trouble with it otherwise.

Also im about to start ripping my substantial CD collection 3 - 4K of them any suggestions on how to do this would be greatly appreciated too.

Thanks in advance

I have used both, and also the recently released jRiver Media Center Alpha build for Mac. I also recently downloaded Audirvana Plus and started playing with it. They all have strengths, but I think I've about settled on Audivarna Plus. It allows iTunes to handle my entire music library, including formats like Flac, and that means that you can use Apple's excellent Remote application to control the music and playlists. It is also really simple to set up and use.

Just one Person's opinion. YMMV.
