Also, based on my experiments, here are my findings if you want to mitigate the risks:
AIR-ETH + Laptop eth-wired (not direct eth link) : never had any issues
AIR-ETH + Laptop wifi : could happen playing DSD files, especially after switching AIR-ETH/AIR-WIFI and also switching from foobar to Qobuz player, but to be honest if I startup my PC and play files, and do not test settings/applications, no issue. Really low risk.
AIR-WIFI + Laptop Wifi : could happen playing DSD, really dependent on the uptime of my router and wifi activities... unpredictable.
Playing 16/44 is not an issue for me with AIR.
My default AIR format on my laptop is always 24/192, you can also lower this settings, but for me I can really hear the impact on SQ if I do so.
Hope you'll be also a lucky AIR guy
