AIR not yet compatible with Yosemite for MAC

[GuillaumeB]

Yes.

You have to take care.

As you rightly say Dev' have integrated AIR into iTunes so you will only get bit-perfect via AIR if you use iTunes.

Also if you are using USB then you need to install an app such as "BitPerfect" which works with iTunes to ensure that it doesn't pop-back to 16/44 when playing high re audio files.

I should add that my conversation with Thierry was about using AIR on a Mac, we didn't discuss PCs. I'm pretty sure these can output bit perfect using WASAPI.

Personally (and this is entirely subjective of course!) I believe the best sound quality is achieved when you use something that is built and optimised specifically for audio (both hardware and software). We see it all the time with the tweaks that are going on on this forum. I also don't think it's a coincidence that the Devialet sounds fantastic when being fed by a decent CD transport, I believe both Audio Research and Metronome ones were being used at the last Guildford Audio show. In particular the Metronome sounded especially good when connected to a D800.

Anyway this is going way off topic.

Rik - pls go ahead and set up that thread though. I think it's an excellent idea.
