Hi Folks
Thought I'd post an antidote to the raging Streamer Bored debate
It concerns issues I've had with Air 3 WiFi and what I believe to be a reliable solution.
I've had dreadful recent (~3 months) issues starting up Air3 (just not working/talking to computer and Dev or inconsistent with a background chorus of clicks).
I'd even bought another Gigabit switch thinking that was a problem - didn't work. I'm pretty sure my problems started when I foolishly upgraded to OS Sierra on the Mac.
However, I have just found that if I start up the Mac Mini, make sure Roon and Air are running and that iPad Roon is talking to Mac Mini Roon, and THEN fire up the Devialets (start-up on WiFi) everything works first time and every time (over last two weeks).
So the start-up procedure is: Computer (ensure ROON and AIR are on) >>>> iPad ROON (check it is talking to computer ROON)>>>> Devs (start-up on WiFi).
Now I have two Switches (Netgear and Cisco) which both work.....
However, if I switch source and listen to Vinyl, when I go back to Air WiFi it starts to play up again - it's as if once it loses its 'lock' it can't find it again.
Anyway, be interesting to hear if anyone else can turn a temperamental Air3 experience into a successful one using this start-up procedure.
