Is this soft to be used with AIR ? I understand it upsamples everything in DSD mode ? why since the original file is not a RECORDED song in DSD ? how can it be a better result ? (currently I use AUDIRVANA)
I have used it with AIR and Roon, and I can confirm that it sounds really good. I have used it mainly for upsampling everything to 24/192. Probably it just does a bit better job than Devialet's internal upsampling.
Only big issue is that sometimes it makes AIR to crash to bluescreen on Windows. It's probably caused by a bug in AIR but cannot say for sure since Devialet hasn't confirmed this. For this reason I am currently using only Roon and AIR and doing upsampling and convolution in Roon.
There is a free trial available, perhaps you could give it a try?
