OK, got it to work. Looking at the first page of this thread, Guillaume's advice on setting Audio to just Direct Mode, now it works. But, will this option without Integer mode degrades in sound quality?

Just tried the 2 version on trial. I'm very pleased with the sound but the library and the general usage is not great. I think I will persist with it for a while though because this is the best I have heard my system sound. I listen to mainly classical and string tone is superb. I'm continually surprised at how much you can get out of a ripped cd!

Have recently acquired a D200.
I tried all combinations of settings for Audirvana+2 and Air, and at some point during the days pops and crackles would kick in. Sometime subtle, sometimes not so much.
Using iTunes and Air the same thing (but not sounding as good as A+ IMO).
Finally settled on A+ USB, which then seems to lose sync with certain settings, although its been stable for a day.
I have to say, for the price of the D200, and considering how long the model has been available, this is a huge disappointment. It's hard to believe its not being dealt with as a matter of urgency.
Sound-wise I'm still undecided - going to give my ears/brain time to adjust but whereas I could forgive the odd pop and click on my £35 raspberry P1 2, I'm not feeling very understanding about experiencing it daily on a product of this cost/level…..
(rant over, what a shame I should be posting here with my new love of the D200's looks etc - but this issue really is very annoying, and since I have structured cabling and a gig-e switch, and have never had any network issues in my house ever, I wasn't expecting to one of the unlucky ones….)
