Windows 10 - Mike Turner - 20-Aug-2015
Hi Devialet chat. Let me say first of all that I have owned the D-Premier and now the 400 and they are both incredible pieces of equipment, my pride and joy. My question is, I notice that in some posts reference has been made to Windows 10, does this mean that Devialet works well with W10? Devialet support recommended not to try it just yet. As an extra I must say also that my dealer and Devialet support have both been fantastic when it came to sorting out a problem, great service. Mike TRE: Windows 10 - hk6230 - 20-Aug-2015
Been using Win10 with my Devialet 200 for about 3 weeks now. AIR 2.1.4beta and Devialet USB are working well.

Win 10 is sounding clearly better via USB than Win 7/8. So far I have prefered AIR wireless over USB, but with Win10 that has changed. The official 2.1.3 driver is also working fine.

Mine seems fine as well. If anything Air is working better than with 8.1, I've not tested it to destruction yet but I can now play 24/192 files reliably which I always had dropouts with 8.1 and older versions of Air.
I have had a clicking sound partway through some DSF files but I'm not sure what's causing that! I only have free ones to test anyway so no big deal for me if it doesn't work, would be nice though!
cheers
Chris

Wonder why Devialet recommended not to try it yet
. Perhaps they were concerned about receiving a further flood of complaints about yet another source of White Noise 
.I have tried AIR 2.1.3 (not tried 2.1.4 beta) with Windows 10 on my PC (Ethernet connected to D400) and all seems to be OK. Played continuous for around 4hrs with no problems. I must admit that AIR is not my primary source as I still prefer my W4S Server, via USB into my D400 (running 8.1.3), but nice to know that there is a "fall back" source of music delivery if necessary
. As stated I am "hardwired" Ethernet rather than Wi Fi so can not comment on whether that would make a difference. David
p s Must add that I had no problems with AIR, even with previous Windows 7

As mentioned in another post by me, not only is Windows 10 working fine for me, I am now able to play better than CD quality files - something that I could not do before.
RE: Windows 10 - Mike Turner - 21-Aug-2015
Hi and many thanks for all the responses, I now feel confident to give it a try, thanks again. Mike.

In view of the above positive comments, I must say I find it odd that all three of my Windows 10 machines fail to play faultlessly to my Dev120 via Air over Ethernet (v2.1.4beta). All three play perfectly for a time. In the case if the laptop, stuttering starts after about four minutes and the music finally stops altogether after a few more minutes. The two PCs play for around 20 minutes before popping/cracking noises develop. I've tried different cables and routers and different music players to no avail. The two PCs are equipped with Intel i5 quad core processors, but their hardware components are otherwise quite different. The laptop is less powerful affair, having an AMD Turion processor. Maybe some machine resource is being gradually eaten up. I don't think there is a problem with Windows 10 in particular, as Windows 8 didn't fare any better. Just my two cents....

have you checked the power saving settings ? Try setting the max. power profile. My i5 PC is working fine with AIR as did Win8.1 before.
