Hi guys
I have been testing the new AIR 3 beta for Mac.
I have been playing non-stop since 10am, so nearly 5 hours. No dropouts and no white noise.
I am using Audirvana Plus 1.5.12 and playing a collection of albums downloaded from Qobuz, some 24 bit.
See the attached image to see what low level playback options I have selected. Essentially everything!
This is by far the best SQ I have ever heard using AIR. At times jaw dropping. Many of you on here will know I have not been a great fan of AIR in the past. This in my mind changes everything (assuming the lack of dropouts and white noise perseveres!). I have NEVER heard AIR sound this good before. I know, I'm repeating myself!
