I have to agree also. Amarra makes the biggest difference when you have a very low-noise, low distortion D/A converter and high quality headphones. There are only a couple of D/A's that make the difference really obvious within a few seconds of listening.
Top of line Ultrasones or Sennheisers are helpful.

Amarra's going to get the most mileage with really nice speaker systems and the best headphone systems. I base this on the fact that switching Amarra on/off you can hardly tell the difference with HD650, K702, Beyers, etc. Sorry to crap on anyone's parade.
