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.

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 - 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.
