I hope Devialet will implement support for the new AES67 protocol at some point using ethernet ports of the amplifiers (sorry, 'expert line'). A few devices was shown at CES. I guess the new Bel Canto REF Stream is AES67 as the report in Stereophile says "..plugs into your ethernet network, appearing as a node with IP.." Would solve issues with AIR, but I have not seen any reports of AES67 and WiFi.
EDIT: The Bel Canto REF Stream is not AES67. It's just another UPnP device. Nothing wrong with UPnP though. I use JRiver as DLNA server at the moment, works well and is very stable.
