That sounds really encouraging moreno1973. Have you thought about comparing Wi-Fi to wired ethernet? Guillaume RE: AIR - Nightmare - 31-May-2014 I had totally different findings ;-) USB provides the best sound quality. And Audioquest Diamond is not necessary at all :-) RE: AIR - Jwg1749 - 31-May-2014 I have a marginal preference for wireless and ethernet AIR over USB. I can't distinguish at all between wireless and ethernet AIR. Matt RE: AIR - moreno1973 - 31-May-2014 (31-May-2014, 19:52)GuillaumeB Wrote: Have you thought about comparing Wi-Fi to wired ethernet? Yes I will try it tomorrow with good quality Ethernet Cat.7 cable. But truly speaking WI-FI is so good quality and so nice to use (without) any cables that if Ethernet will not be much better I will stay with Devialet Air WIFI as main sound source from laptop. I bought Airport Express and after that and after upgrade to Air2.1.2 signal is really strong and there are no any problems, even with playing high resolution files... I also like very much sound from my Krell CD player connected via coaxial cable to Devialet. RE: AIR - Umetaro - 01-Jun-2014 Hi, I started using AIR because the stability improved substantially with the new F/W and AIR app. One issue I have with AIR is that AIR app is disabled after some time and that I need to restart AIR app on Mac Mini. Is there any way to keep AIR activated? On the other hand, USB input is stable (although the connection between Audirvana and Devialet is sometimes lost). Before upgrading D-Premier to 240, I used AES/EBU input with DD converter, Stello U3. This is the most stable and I do not have to operate Mac Mini to reactivate Audirvana.

Yes the disabling of AIR after some time of inactivity is a slight irritation. Have you asked Thierry at Devialet about it? RE: AIR - Nightmare - 01-Jun-2014 Had no issues with inactivity on a Mac so far, but the Mac did not go into deep sleep mode reliably when AIR was installed. After uninstalling everything works fine again. No need for AIR having superb SQ via USB. RE: AIR - Umetaro - 02-Jun-2014 (01-Jun-2014, 07:20)IanG-UK Wrote:Thanks IanG-UK. I haven't asked Thierry about this.

RE: AIR - Martyn - 08-Jun-2014 When you guys use AIR does your internal volume control become disabled? Mine seems to stay enabled when I have a feeling it should disable?
