$499 without power supply $549 with iFi Audio power supply Still, after all these years, if you want to hear how good a Mac-based system can really sound, Amarra is one of the few playback programs you must have. While there are sonic differences between Amarra and its competitors, the nature, scope, and perceptibility of those differences will vary drastically depending on the other components, both hardware and software, in your system. But with current pricing, that barrier to ownership has been greatly reduced.

When Amarra first appeared on the scene it was pricier than most of its software competition. $189, $99, $85, $49 (price varies depending on the feature set) Mate this front end with a top-flight DAC and you have a digital playback system that will catapult you to the forefront of the new computer-playback revolution. Combine Pure Music with any recent Mac computer and you have a front end that will play back any digital file from FLACs to lowly MP3s on up to 192/24 high-resolution files with ease. Pure Music is a great piece of software at a price that even a flea market-scrounging hobbyist audiophile can afford. Most importantly, Roon just sounded good-a little different from, and in some ways better than JRiver. VF found playing music on Tidal easier through Roon than through Tidal’s own playback program. Its flexible and easy metadata-editing tools make it simple to fix the inevitable errors that creep into Roon’s (and any other playback program’s) graphic display of your albums. The Roon music management program offers a rich interface with far more information about the music in your collection than any other program reviewer Vade Forrester has seen.

The harmonic balance is a bit dark, with forgiving treble and a warmish upper bass. The Cobblestone produces listenable, if not riveting sound. Although the Cobblestone won’t be right for a reference system, it simply and inexpensively adds Internet radio, smartphone streaming, and NAS playback capabilities to a secondary “lifestyle” or background music system. This inexpensive little device provides wireless streaming to any audio system. I’d be very surprised if, by the sixteenth day, you haven’t anted up that $50 to become a licensed user.

And for readers who need to see and hear for themselves, you can download the trial version of Audirvana Plus for free. Especially if you use multiple DACs or listen to higher-res files and DSD, Audirvana Plus is a more ergonomically elegant and sonically superior alternative to iTunes. If you have so far resisted buying any third-party music playback software for your Mac, Audirvana offers some compelling reasons to reevaluate that decision.
