Mac AIR v MiND 180 v Auralic ARIES v totaldac d1 server

[PhilP]

Hi PhilP

I find it very satisfactory that Devialet web site explains that the "player" plays and AIR "transfers". It was not so clear before.

For Audirvana (I have a license that I use to DAC reviews), some options as Integer Mode depend on how the DAC or an audio gear as Devialet declares itself as an "audio card" to the Operating System.
So, if it is not possible to activate Integer mode or direct mode, it relies on AIR and how it declares the Devialet to OSX.

I know this does not help you but it means that this question in more onDevialet's side than on Audirvana side. In the past there have been lists of DAC compatible with internet mode as here http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f11-so...lus-13363/

Thanks for the link etc. noticing the dates of the posts I see these types of discussion have been going on for some time

To be honest, I find the Audirvana User interface painful to use so I will either continue to use iTunes/AIR accepting some sonic compromises or else move to a streamer like the totaldac and not worry too much about how AIR works.

I look forward to readng more reviews from you in the future.

Salut!

Philip
