Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved
Downloadable music means that more recorded music will be readily available for a longer time (forever, even) than ever before. Physical media is a limiting factor in the publishing and distribution of music. This is a big win for everyone, seems ... 
Amarra or amarra symphony???
Audirvana is getting the spotlight these days. Less expensive and great sound, but no EQ, if that's part of your reason for choosing Amarra. 
Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac?
