1. Definitely the walkthru for AIR needs to be a sticky !!
2. I was expecting the move to AQ Diamond ... but a ques here ... Why AQ Diamond ? There are soooooo many nice digital cables out there ... I for one, am a big fan of XLO from the days of its founder Roger Skoff in the '90s. I would probably lean towards finding a Neutrik NA2MPMF (RCA female to XLR male) adapter and trying out the XLO digital cable off my CD transport in place of the stock Devialet one some time soon ...

No particular reason for looking at the AQ SP/DIF -AES/EBU cable, I just like AQ cables, especially the Diamond line as they are solid silver.
The only other SP/DIF -AES/EBU cable I would look at would be the Audience SX cable, but thats real $$$ around $1400.00 usd
I'm glad you managed to get both Audirvana and Air working the same day, that makes for a real good day

And a BIG thank you to you for making my day with the "ill-fated" AIR 3.0 .. and I managed to get both WiFi & ETH going ...
Q : Is AIR 3.0 beta really better than the earlier 2.1.3 ?
