Hi folks!
 
Been using Amarra 2.5.1 for a couple of days and I really like it.  It seems to have a nice bit of improved presence over the prior version.  I'm using a Mac Mini as a server into Audioquest Diamond into a Musical Fidelity 192 SPDIF converter into a Benchmark DAC1 Pre and from there the rest of my system which is Audio Research electronics feeding a pair of Magnepan 1.7s.  Black Cat Lectraline and Neomorpheus cables.
 
There is some really nice clarity which I already found a hallmark of Amarra.  I am playing hirez files from playlist and 16/44 from iTunes.  Both sound wonderful.  Lots of nice resolution and nice deep and wide soundstage.
 
A really nice bonus is the included Sonic Studio Process file conversion software.  The most intuitive I have used so far and really nice transparency from the original to target files based on what I am hearing.
 
Highest recommendation.
