All of a sudden I'm getting these dropouts and noise again, specially on native DSD. I thought I got rid of them when I uninstalled all the crap that comes with windows 10, but oh no, they are back. Is it just AIR that's mocking me? Or could it be something else? I wonder if it will improve some if I install Audiophile Optimizer as it should scrap even more that's running in the background in windows? Any suggestions on what to do?

Actually that was my plan, but since I'm running headless I'm not able to. For some reason the app I'm using controlling the computer throws me out when I'm trying to install Fidelizer. And I cannot connect the computer to my screen since that is in another room and free Fidelizer will not autostart after you disconnect the computer - ah the joys of being an audiophile...

Are you running Windows 10 or Windows 10 Pro? I use the latter, and Microsoft Remote Desktop on another machine (a Mac) to control the NUC. I believe you need Windows 10 Pro to run Remote Desktop though I could be wrong. I am also running headless.

I'm using 10 Pro. I will try the Microsoft software and see if it works. Thanks!

Hey frejo,
I can recommend the next step to go for AO. Not only will you (most likely) get rid of the dropouts but perhaps get to new SQ-Horizons. Though it might be that AIR isn't affected SQ-wise by background services (I do believe it is affected) the whole system runs very smooth and headless is no problem with AO and you also gain in a quick as a boot can be with AO.
Did you already try 'Process Lasso'. It might also help with the issues you have with Win10.
If both of the above won't help you have to give your router/network a closer look. Try the router of a friend or 'buy' one online and give it back when it doesn't solve the problems.

Haven't tried process lasso, don't know what it is exactly. I'll look it up.
I don't have a router in my setup, running my computer directly to the D200 via Ethernet.
I wasn't aware that AIR perhaps didn't benify from AO, I was kind of hoping it would make my system sound "better"...
Thank you for the input!

If I install Process Lasso, what are the settings for best SQ?
