I wonder if this work-around
"If using iTunes on Windows, install Apple Quicktime on the Windows box and in QuickTime set:
QuickTime > Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences > Audio tab > Enable Windows Audio Session."
is even applicable for those who use JRiver (or Foobar) WASAPI.
Regarding the drop-outs and stutters, a lot can be done to eliminate them. For instance, JRiver (as well as Foobar) has buffering and pre-buffering (which can be customized). Devialet itself has a buffer (which can be managed via AIR). Finally, anti-virus does interfere with playback. I had to disable Windows Defender auto-scans, but depending on your anti-virus program, there may be ways to configure it, to exclude JRiver/Foobar specific folders from the scans.
