You can even enhance the clarity of Skype phone calls or Netflix videos, although, personally, I haven’t tried this yet. You also get multiple filter types and an even more powerful Equalizer.īut Amarra SQ is not just limited to music. On top of the standard features it comes with an Audio conditioner that can remove excess noise. If you want to customize everything even further, get Amarra SQ+. I personally use a little bit of EQ to tame the top end of my STAX headphones which are slightly too bright for my taste. What’s more, Amarra SQ is a full-featured DSP with a fantastic paramentric Equalizer (presets for popular audiophile headphones included). I can even tell the difference when I use Qobuz to send 16bit FLAC lossless audio to Amarra SQ rather than sending it directly through my M2Tech Hiface driver. Amarra SQ vastly transforms even humble YouTube music videos. In other words, you simply set Spotify, Qobuz, YouTube, iTunes or whatever you may be using to route any audio signal to Amarra SQ.

It is a completely unenjoyable experience. Unfortunately, the sound quality is generally lacking resolution and body, with high pitch notes ending up tinny in sound. Even my kids occasionally want listen to the poor quality audio that they have purchased on iTunes. Despite being an audiophile with high demands when it comes to sound quality, I often listen to live concerts through YouTube or simply stream MP3 tracks from Spotify to my stereo system or STAX headphones.
