Is there anything not working as expected with Ventura? I have been using AIR from the very first day of official release of Ventura with no issues. I am not sure if I am missing anything. Audio exclusive mode doesn’t work for AIR but if I am not mistaken it has never ever worked with AIR.

You superstar.. Thank you so much.
As it didn't list Ventura I had assumed it wouldn't!
All working
Soooooo much better than USB!

I do, don’t forget exclusive mode won’t work (now it is more visible because of the big microphone icon at the top bar) but this is not something new. AIR has never worked in the exclusive mode.

Tried it with and without Excluisve Mode but no sound what ever - Audirvana sees Devialet Air and though the track plays there is no sound from the amplifier. What a shame

Neither AIR nor USB sound optimal in my view, but AIR is a bit better (ethernet). Compared with my vinyl source transients like sharp percussion are less crisp, the mid tones get slightly muddled up and overall soundstage is flatter. My Naim Uniti Atom Headphone amp in the office is a league apart.

To me the best sound quality remains the AES/EBU input.
