Devialet AIR 3.0.5 will not open with M1 Mac Mini

[ogs]

I don't think Devialet "AIR" is dead just yet.. there are still quite a few users that didn't upgrade their amp to CI. The only hires network streaming for them would be AIR (and UPnP if their amp supports it). I also believe that Devialet uses AIR from Arch to Phantoms. Devialet Support has confirmed that "...Arch product uses the UDP protocol to transfer the audio information to the Phantom". AIR is UDP so it makes sense that Devialet is (re)using AIR for this. It is quite unlikely that Devialet developed a new UDP streaming protocol for Arch when they already had AIR. AIR used this way is much more reliable than the virtual sound card for various operating systems as Devialet controls both send and receive, hidden from users.
On the thread topic I fully agree with @David A, very well said.
