Devialet AIR working (mostly) on QNAP virtual server...and a few questions

[El_Duderino]

W, welcome to Devialetchat and I'm glad you are trying out AIR, too. My NUC is an Intel 5i5 with 8GB RAM running Win10 and Roon. Like you, I have my Le200 and NUC connected to a router directly. I set Roon's Audio to use Exclusive and Event-driven mode, Diable volume control, Max Sample Rate (PCM) Disabled, Resync Delay 0ms, DSD over PCM (DoP), Max DSD Sample Rate Disabled. AIR delay is set at 1000ms. I use AIR-ETH for Roon playback. My music is on my QNAP TS-212P+ in a different room.

With the above setting, all music files to 24/192 and DSD64 can be played without any problem.

I do occasionally stream Spotify from my Win10 tablet (Atom-based and only 2GB RAM) using AIR-wifi to my Le200 and no issue, too.

Thanks for the replies.

You certainly have me curious about acquiring a NUC for faultless playback at all bitrates -- do you know of any forum dwellers who have tried a similar NUC solution to your own WITHOUT success? In essence, is your setup a reliable solution to the issues with AIR?  I could easily repurpose the RAM from the QNAP and then get an M2.SSD for the operating system on the NUC....might be worth a go...
