| If you were setting up a music server today ... Early on I used an Apple TV>DAC>integrated Amp. The Apple TV was wireless using an AirPort Extreme. It is my understanding though that ATV is not now bit perfect and converts everything to 16/48 and then of course doesn't support high res (2... | |

| Jplay vs Amarra, PC vs. Mac Compute Audiophile is a good source of information. Check out their FAQ and the CA Academy along with there CAPS which provide detailed instructions of building your own PC Based music server. I use a Mac Mini as I am not inclined or capable of me... | |
| Pure Music or Amarra with iMac I own both Pure Music and Audivrana + and have demoed Amarra. My preference is Audivrana. Macs dynamically select USB ports so sometimes you have to fiddle around to ensure connection to one of the high speed USB ports. I recommend using XLD to ri... | |
| Perhaps a stupid question, .... but... Pure Music does have a feature called Playthrough which supports other audio sources such as Internet radio. The user manual describes the set up. | |
| JRiver Media Center vs. Amarra With JRiver for Mac being in such early stages of beta testing I don't know that a comparison at this point would be viable. It might be best to wait for the full official release version to make such comparison. | |

| Amarra HiFi and 24/96 FLAC Files - Heads Up FLAC files are not directly supported by iTunes. I know both Audivrana Plus and Pure Music work with iTunes and support FLAC files. I have done a demo of Amarra but to my ears it was no better than either PM or A+. | |

| iTunes dropping album artwork What format are your files? How do you add artwork to your iTunes files? | |
| Pure Music option to convert to Apple Lossless I am not familiar with Pure Music being able to transcode files from one audio codec to another. It is a music playback software rather than a process software (rip, extract, transcode). It does allow for the playback of FLAC files but it uses iTu... |
