Is it worth to upgrade from AF 50 to AF 100? 
Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac?
Expect a lot of up-n-down before 500 hour mark. If you power it down and up again, give it at least 30 min to get back on the road.

Jeffga, good to know the improvements at 900+ hrs. AMR website says 1000 hours, which is long but not as long as my ProAc Tablette Anniversary's one-year break-in. Have you compared the BNC to the AES/EBU? I don't expect any sonic difference but t...

350 hours on my DP-777 now, and the sound starts to stabilize, the tubed SPDIF input sounds best so far, the USB input is nowhere close to its own SPDIF or my Off-Ramp4 (with dual clock and battery options) connected to SPDIF. I bought a Macbook P... 
Best Integrated, period.
Add Rega Osiris, another reference level int amp

Fla, According to the AMR distributor, JA didn't measure all the parameters in the proper way. Plus, if you really believe in measurement, Benchmark DAC-1 has the best numbers you can get from any modern DAC. I still own my DAC-1 and believe for t...

Jeffga, I can tell you my battery powered Off-ramp 4 still sounds better than AMR's own USB input.

Current status:Transport --> AMR's BNC input = 9/10Transport --> Dodson's BNC input = 8/10PC --> Off-ramp 4 --> Dodson's BNC input = 8/10PC --> Off-ramp 4 --> Benchmark DAC1's BNC input = 8/10PC --> Benchmark DAC1's USB input ...

Essentialaudio: Good to know "JRMC + Win 7" sounds good. I am not sure if I want to go with "JRMC + Win 7" or "Amarra + Mac mini". I am a PC person and not a Mac fan, but I like the convenience of iTunes too, does JRMC piggy back onto iTunes' inte...

Audiofun: thank you for your encouragement!Other than burn-in, I notice the USB input sounds much worse than SPDIF. Before I bought the AMR, I was using Off-ramp 4 + Dodson 218, the PC/USB sounded extremely close to CD transport/SPDIF. But then th...

I solved the problem by going to QuickTime player, and change the output to 16/44.1. Under Windows OS, iTunes is just a file manager for QuickTime, which actually plays the music. Now my DP-777 (USB) now recognizes 16/44.1 and decodes accordingly ...

I also tried DAC direct, and still prefer a high-end analog preamp, which adds density, weight and scale. I admit the volume control inside the DP-777 is very good, and some Asian audio forum says it's as good as US$3000 preamps, but not beyond. A...

Strange -- When I play 16/44.1 redbook CD ripped into apple lossless format in iTunes (Windows XP), the USB-connected DP-777 automatically goes to "96/96 organic". This happens even if I put a redbook CD in the CD-Rom and play it directly through ...

If I continue to write your story above, that lady friend would later on become your wife. LOL.Well, I plugged my preamp in a PS Audio P300 all the time, and now the P300 has stopped working -- no lightening strike, no insufficient ventilization, ... 
Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac?
Audiofun, after fully break-in your AMR, do you leave it on all the time? If you turn it off, how much warm-up time do you need to reach the optimum performance? I have a big class A amp that takes 1~2 hours of music play to sound its best, and ca...
