My recent experience with AIR is as follows:
Windows 10 / Latest Beta AIR / hard wired Ethernet. Sometimes it works 100% perfectly. With the latest beta version of AIR, I got white noise when the screen went into "powersave" mode (blank screen). Disabling the screensaver / powersave mode has cured "white noise" 100%, I have not experienced this for about 5 month now. I do still get crackles, stuttering and other similar artefacts. Some days 100% perfect, some days not. It appears to be very random, but does fit with the theory of a PC multitasking / performing background tasks and then causing some kind of upset to the clocking.
In the absence of a robust cure offered by Devialet, my view is that the solution, or at least a work around, is to suss out which processes in the PC (or Mac) are upsetting AIR and make sure they are disabled / removed from the machine or whatever whilst streaming. I have noticed a few cases of people claiming AIR works perfectly, people running stripped down / audio optimised PC's or Windows Server 2012 Nas drives etc. I'm sure this is not coincidental.
