Since Pure Music and BitPerfect play the tracks correctly through my speakers, I must put the blame on Amarra. and have identical issues (same speakers). Now I have a 2-month old computer running El Cap. The problems last year occurred on my old computer running Yosemite. So maybe the "problem" is with my speakers, but the dev's are aware of this issue and fail to warn people that Amarra may be incompatible with some speakers and that you should check your specifications before installing. I had not touched the sample rate - my desktop speakers ONLY play at 48 kHz - that can NOT be changed in Audio MIDI Setup. We believe that up-sampling a track will create non-bit-perfect output, an audiophile no-no." This is why Amarra is not playing back your 44k tracks in your current setup.

Some will convert the file in real-time and play back your upsampled track without issue. That all said, each program deals with mis-matched sample rates differently. The signal coming out of the computer must be converted to that sample rate for your speakers to play the tracks back. Specifically, on a Mac, the sample rates that are listed in Audio Midi Setup under the Format menu are the sample rates supported by that device.

I'd installed Amarra last summer and after many emails with support I uninstalled it due to its inability to properly play my iTunes tracks through my JBL Pebbles computer speakers.
