Good question. After reading about the latest Audirvana with direct and integer modes in Lion I had high hopes. Downloaded the beta and on initial listening I still prefer Amarra 2.4. Sounds more natural, full-bodied and organic to me - less "digital" if you know what I mean.
Thus far I have tried Pure Music, Decibel and Audirvana and have yet to find anything I like as much as Amarra.
Of course this stuff is all subjective and system-dependent...
