![]() iTunes will not do FLAC or DSD in any shape or form. Two totally different programs, neither needing iTunes, with is a plus for me since I have a very large music collection, including DSF rips of my 500 SACD’s. So I kept using the two remaining: Media Center by JRiver, currently at version 21 and Audirvana 2+. But I can’t keep buying updates of all programs only to keep up to date with all. Like Amarra and others it uses iTunes as user interface and, again, the sound is excellent. ![]() Pure Music was disqualified since it fought with a video program that I need to use from time to time. That left me with three players that sounded about equal: Pure Music by Channel D, Media Center by JRiver and Audirvana+. Since I found several other players that sounded that little more sparkling, Amarra was dropped too. ![]() But I didn’t find evidence of that during measuring. It sounds a little rounded, as if there was a slight high end roll off. The versions I used sounded refined and if nothing else had been around, I would still use Amarra. In the mean time there is a version that does room acoustics compensation and a version that plays Tidal. I used two versions, the only difference being the higher sample rates made accessible or not. The third one I dropped might surprise you: Amarra by Sonic Studio.
