Quote:Your D-Premier is going to love the new universal Wi-Fi streamer
As promised, D-Premier is getting even better.
With the firmware 6.0 update and the new Devialet AIR streamer, our teams have developed new software that further improves performances and the D-Premier experience.
These developments work together – to take advantage of the new Devialet AIR and the new Devialet application (iOS and Android), install the 6.0 update first.

No matter what format or audio player you use, don’t change anything. All you have to do is select your Devialet as your computer’s audio output device and play your music.

Whether you listen to compressed formats or CD-quality formats, the new Devialet AIR ensures loss-free transmission.
The new Devialet AIR Wi-Fi streamer lets you stream at up to 192 kHz. Of course, you need a Wi-Fi network that can handle it!
Devialet AIR2.0 now also lets you adapt transmission latency to the quality of your Wi-Fi network. You can adjust latency in the application’s new interface to ensure audio flow stability.
Select bit perfect mode to enjoy your high resolution files (see below).

Quote:"bit perfect" mode
The new Devialet AIR Wi-Fi streamer lets you play your music in bit perfect mode. This mode is for users who play high-resolution files (superior to CD format). It avoids having your computer’s operating system alter your music file’s sampling frequency before transmitting it to your Devialet.
This mode depends on the audio architecture used by your computer. Access is therefore different for Mac and Windows.
With Mac, it is guaranteed automatically from iTunes when the "Bit perfect" option is enabled in the Devialet AIR application’s settings.
With Windows Vista, it can also be accessed automatically from several audio players by selecting WASAPI as the audio outlet in your player’s settings. These include free players such as Foobar 2000, Winamp and XBMC or commercial players such as JRiver, Adobe Audition, JPlay. This is not the case for iTunes with Windows or Windows Media Player, on the other hand.
It is always possible to play in bit perfect mode manually by adjusting the sampling frequency in the Devialet AIR application’s settings as needed for the format of the files you want to play.
