Hi Folks,
I recently have a Devialet Le120 at home for testing as I need a new amp for my DALI Epicon 2 and I am blown away by the sound! As I am an Apple User (Both Mac and iPhone) and have been listening to music exclusively via Airplay so far, comfort is of extreme importance for me. Until now NO High-End Manufacturer of network stereo amps has integrated Airplay! But Devialet has a near-to solution with Devialet AIR as it works exactly the same as Airplay-Mirroring by transporting the whole sound from the MacBook to the amp. It is absolutely simple to activate and use BUT:
With AIR 2.1.3. I am having the following issues:
1. Sometimes when the app tries to connect with le120 the icon becomes dark so there is a connection but 10s later it becomes white again, so no connection.
2. Volume Control with the buttons of the MacBook sometimes works, sometimes it doesn't.
3. If problems occur, restarting the system as well as the MacBook in different orders doesn't help. Volume Control via the MacBook buttons stays unavailable.
With AIR 3.0.1 public beta I have had NO issues so far regarding the above mentioned. BUT there is no option for enable iTunes bit perfect.
So my questions are:
- Why do I have troubles with volume control via the MacBook buttons with AIR 2.1.3 but not with AIR 3.0.1. public beta?
- Will AIR 3 get the feature of iTunes bit perfect?
