When you say "clipping" do you mean that you can see the meter going into the red on the info display, or are you judging it by sound alone?  For example, could it perhaps be a manifestation of the well-known problems with AIR, rather than clipping?  If you have a source you can plug directly into the Devialet line-level inputs that might help to work out whether AIR is the culprit.

Could you swap the amplifiers round between the two installations?  That might tell you whether there might be a hardware problem with one of the units.

That problem sounds like the one I have when I try to use the Configurator in Safari on OS X.  Maybe worth trying a different browser, if you can (Firefox or Chrome work OK, I think).

Yes, it will probably be searching for the wireless access point unless you've disabled wi-fi in the configuration.

I am judging by sound alone and maybe clipping is not the right word...it's like skipping or stuttering.  What are the issues with AIR?  Their support people have not communicated any of that to me.  Does Devialet have a fix?

I will try swapping the amps again but I tried before and I got the same results.

Regarding the configurator I cannot seem to download the files on Chrome or Firefox.  I normally use Chrome for everything.  When I right click the link I don't get the option to download the file or "save target as".  Maybe there is something I have to change in the settings of Chrome or Firefox to allow me to do that?  I only get the option in Safari.

Once I figure out how the get the configurator to work I will download the configuration without wifi and see if that works.
