#Amarra 3.0 review full size

I used coaxial s/pdif using a Wireworld Gold Starlight III+ digital coaxial cable that was connected to a ML 360S DAC.ДЄbove:В Ayre QB-9 USB DAC on top of a Levinson 390S CD player. There are more connections on the other side. This little gem takes in USB in and spits out audio using all interfaces known to man. Second using a Transparent USB cable into the EVO, rDAC and Ayre QB-9.ДЄbove:В M2Tech HiFace EVO USB interface. First using a premium quality toslink optical cable. If you want to read more about fileformats and want to know why applications matter, please see Computer audio part 2.ДЄboveВ The Macbook was connected in two ways. S/Pdif in toslink form straight into the Mark Levinson no360S dac USB straight to the Arcam rDAC (bypassing the Levinson) USB straight to the Ayre QB-9 USB DAC (bypassing the Levinson) USB into the M2Tech HiFace EVO interface, then s/pdif to the ML DAC.

S/Pdif out from the EMU1212M PCI soundcard to the ML no360S dac The audio was taken out of the computers in three different manners: I used toslink, s/pdif coaxial and USB for data transfer. In order to get audio out of these computers, I used all methods that I had at hand, both internal PCI card and external interfaces.

The above picture looks very cozy but this really was one majorly exhausing test. Mac compared to PC, two iTunes sound enhancements and a range of DA-converters and USB interfaces
