Whilst it no longer crashed the Core, which was on the iMac, it obviously dropped the zone, and I had difficulties to re-attach to it afterwards, so it was still extremely disruptive. After this happened a couple of times, and I satisfied myself that it was not due to anything else that I was doing on the machines, I decided that enough was enough, and re-configured the NUC as Core, but without even bothering to set up AIR. It has been a total waste of time and money, and Devialet should be hanging their heads in shame at releasing such a crock of sh*t and then totally failing to support it. If anyone wants to see how audio software could and should be developed and supported, then they need to look no further than Roon.
Too bad AIR failed you again. If you have a spare/old notebook/PC running Win 8.1, you can just add it into the network, anyway within the same network, and you can continue testing AIR without disrupting your current setup. FYI, I connect my old notebook to a wifi router in another room, with a very long (at least 50m) Ethernet cable. I hope one day AIR will work well for all, whether from our tweaking and/or with Devialet releasing a new, stable, working AIR driver. Latter is most preferred.
BTW, RoonBridge can also be set to auto-start just like RoonServer. And, if Devialet AIR is set to "always stream to it automatically", then your zone in RoonBridge should be there, even after a system reboot.
