I have run CCleaner lots of times , I have tried a fixed IP, but nothing works.
When I click the Devialet icon it always says streaming is disabled, so I click on My Ethernet and it turns orange and I click "Always stream to etc" but when I close the window it never holds the settings. Without doubt, AIR is the most frustrating bit of software I have ever encountered.

However I was playing with the windows playback devices panel at the time.  I've tracked it down to when I click on the Recording Devices tab, it causes white noise every time.  Interestingly just pausing the music for a few seconds, and then resuming fixes it, no need to restart any software or reboot.

PS It was whilst playing some Aphex Twin, I'm certain if he has a Devialet there would be some white noise heavily featured in a future track.  And I'd like it.

Set the "Always Stream to etc" then manually close the application. Then open it again. From then on it will be saved.

It must save upon exit, and when we restart/shutdown it doesn't exit properly.

First off, sound quality is glorious. It could well be better than the Mac AIR3b.   I've had no white noise or dropouts so far. Early on I did get a little bit of breakup though. I do seem to get the occasional glitch, almost exactly like a pop from playing a record. this is with redbook material and definitely not vinyl rips.

Occasional glitches like pops is usually a buffering issue.  If Air no longer has buffer settings increase them in JRiver.

Sound quality seems excellent too.
I had really written off AIR, but I now think it sounds now better than the USB I had been using.
On the face of it a big win, will continue testing it.

The only predictable thing about AIR in the past was that it is unpredictable.  I've streamed DSD64 for more than 5 hours before getting a blast and then the next time within an hour.
