Yes that was my next experiment
Been amazing to use AIR uninterrupted all day.

Ok 2 hours after USB cable removed and still no white noise.... Just had a thought thiugh.... The lap top is in the same room so closer to the router. Wish I understood all of this bloody tech stuff

It's all about the router/signal.... what I said in the beginning. Esp as you are streaming hi-rez.
So next time laptop is distant - see if noise recurs.
A 2nd router is dirt cheap and you can setup a bridge whereby laptop is ethernet connected to 2nd router. The routers talk directly in this setup - they are good at that, much better as peer to peer than client to router.

As this will only be temporary I will just bring lap top into main room for now. I will do the experiment when I get a chance. Makes me wonder why Devialet support did not suggest this.
I might have just been lucky today

Try the Aurilac Aries, I have two and love them
RE: Cheap temporary streamer - hk6230 - 12-Apr-2015
I did an auditioning with the Auralic Aries with Femto clock and Ultra-Low Power supply connected to a D200 at my friend's house. It is retailing over RMB11000 here in China. Other than that it is able to stream all NAS music and just Tidal music (which is expensive and often has dropouts), I find it is not the very best price/performance streamer option. With my not-so-golden-ears, I can't really find it has great difference with my Sonos Connect. Of course, it can stream up to 24/192 files and DSD. I will rather wait for AIR's perfection. In the meantime, just use MAC/USB and Sonos options.

Was researching auralic and realized its Lightning ds app could control my oppo 103 blu ray player. For those looking for a less expensive streamer oppo + Lightning ds app may be a good solution. However I must say, My PC with AIR managed by iTunes still sound better. When I get a chance to borrow some power cable and coax cables, I might be able to bring up the oppo's performance.
