What I suspect causing this is I started a P2P downloader program using up all the bandwidth of the internet at 7MB/s. Before long, white noise appeared. No more test for today. Tomorrow I will try once more.
Sorry to hear that mate!
Never say AIR is working btw. I've done that several times and got the noise kicking in several hours later.
So I'll say now: AIR is NOT working for me for 1.8 days nonstop! [fingers crossed]
Devialet Expert 200 (FW 7.1.3) / Magnepan 1.7i / Rel T5 / Foobar (WASAPI event 24bit) / AIR 3.0.1 public beta (best Air 3.x.x SQ by far)
And now RoonServer on my Synology NAS, thanks to the member who posted the link to the details on the Roon Forums. It is now importing my music collection on the NAS.....

Haha, yeah now that it's a new day today, my AIR is NOT working for me for a day now!

Impressive work baddog! If I may ask, what spec is your Synology, and how well is it running Roon, reasonably responsive etc?

@Confused - well fortunately the fellow posted really good directions and other than not able to get the install to import my existing Roon database ( who knows might be my fault ) it has worked really well so far, better than I thought. Obviously performance on initial import is not quite the same as on my i7 Quad Core Mac Mini, but performance is pretty snappy on my Macbook Roon remote, and iPad Mini.
Mine is an older Synology unit. 1812+, thus it has 3 GBs memory, and an Intel ATOM2700 CPU with 2 cores.
Responsive yes, I had low hopes but this is not bad at all, certainly fully serviceable. In fact it is fine.
Last two days were my FINAL Devialet AIR experiments, so this is my current one.

or it uses USB ?
Can it use both Ethernet and USB ?
No Air driver for Linux. They would use usb or Roonbridge on another device.
Correct, running RoonServer on the Synology NAS, and have RoonBridge running on Mac Mini at the moment connected via USB to D400.
I could in theory use RoonBridge on a Windows system and send output via AIR but while that was fun yesterday, today's testing with AIR and a steady diet of DSD material ended in "white noise" after a few hours.
