Sorry, a silly question. I have downloaded the .dmg file onto my computer. So I can save the .dmg file on a SD card and plug into the Devialet direct for updating or else? Tks.

Quit the existing AIR on MAC. and simply double click the downloaded imag file. It will initiate AIR installation.

Used Roon to pick up Devialet-Air zone, played my fav tracks - No white noise observed. Before i could do critical listening, it only lasted for about 3 tracks ... Sad before it dropped. In fact it got stuck. Roon did not find any zone. i had to re-start my Mac-Air and restarted to play the tracks on AIR 3.0 - again it dropped within couple music track.

Blame it on (a) H/W (b) Roon © iPad AIR app is previous one ?

FYI Devialet is on ETH.

Jnan have you tried testing without Roon (iTunes or something) just to rule it out? Not saying its Roon, but I guess they may not be aware of AIR 3 beta, or if they are it might not have been tested.

There might not be anything to report... Wink

Perhaps someone should stick a link to this thread in the comments section where it was released...

Thanks. You know there was hardly any update of AIR, so I forgot how to do it. Tongue

You're right, it's been a long time!

Still no dropouts or WN here. 

Just been doing more critical listening, I have never heard AIR sound like this. The transparency/detail of some of the timbres is something else. What did they do??

Will be very interesting going back to the totaldac.

Bad news for me - I installed AIR3 onto my WHite Macbook of year 2009
(OSX Lion Version 10.7.5 (11G63b)
2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM).

When I turn on my D200, an AIR3 error report pops out on the MAC telling me to restart MAC. Tried several times but same result. Maybe my OS is just too outdated - you know outdated OS for my outdated Macbook.
