Kencochran2 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Good afternoon. I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro solely to run Amarra on my new sound system. I will be playing DSD files from an external HDD, and the current system set up has a dual-core i5, 2.6GHz, and 8GB of 1600MHz RAM. I'm trying to figure out if I should get a quad-core i7 processor, or possibly more RAM since the files exceed 3GB in size, and I would like to play off a cached list. Would either of these upgrades be significantly beneficial? Thank you for your replies. Everything is greatly appreciated. Link to comment
wgscott Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 H have the i7 processor on my mac mini and think it is well worth having, especially if you are going to do any processing like up-sampling or DSD conversion on the fly, or room correction. 8 GB of ram is adequate; 16 GB is ideal.
