I voted yes, but at the current rate of negative improvement that may change...
This sums up the Devialet history and current position perfectly. I agree with it all, except for me it culminates in a no (because Frank has sensibly ditched AIR and I have stubbornly persisted with it!).
IanG-UK, you have a very nice system (Devialet 800 + Magico speakers). Why don't you just invest in a real nice DAC-less digital streamer like the Aurender X100L or even the Bryston BDP-2 and just forget about AIR?
I'm using my Bryston BDP-2 digital player and the combo sounds amazing!
