WOW!!! The Amarra software, along with it's $995.00 price tag, takes the idea of the gullible audiophile with deep pockets to a whole new level. $1K dollars to play back tunes purchased at the iTunes store???

Future updates may include support for FLAC. Plus check out of this list of known issues, reads like the software code was written sometime back in the days of the TRASH-80 and monochrome screens: > Known Issues > > Gapless playback > - There is a small gap between songs on playback. > This has not been fixed and will be addressed in a future > release. > > Apple Lossless > - Some ALAC files older versions of iTunes, or max, or xld may not > work. > Use a current version of iTunes to convert to AIFF and back to > ALAC. > - Sometimes the file is played at the wrong sample rate. > > Sample Rate Conversion > - The Sample Rate Conversion has limitations on how files are > named. > Names must contain only ASCII characters only and be less > than 22 characters. > > Wireless and RAID Drives > - Amarra may not operate with wireless network drivesand certain > RAID drives. > Audio Drives should be directly connected to physical network for > best results. > Certain RAID drives may also not work or cause delays in > playback. > > Large iTunes Libraries > - Amarra may have issues on playback with very large iTunes > libraries. > Using smaller playlists may address this. But, but, but IT'S AUDIOPHILE!!! I bet that for $1,000 the software must come with a seriously good pair of hip waders!!!
