I only had a brief experience with AIR2 when I first got the OdA, playing a FLAC file from iTunes but it sounded so awful compared to the same song from my CD transport. Thrilled to read about the new AIR3b, many said it sounded as good as a dedicated server. Now I may not even need to buy an Aurender or the Melco Just curious anyone compared the AIR3 with a CD transport?

Using USB between my Mac mini and die Devialet is not only perfect to handle and stable, but sounds a lot better to me. Of course I will give AIR3 a try soon to hear what it sounds like. When I read on the other hand, what makes an Aurender more attractive comparing it with a PC or a Mac concerning sound optmization, I really doubt, that AIR3 is the solution for all the negativ effects a PC/Mac connected by e.g. USB might have on the sound. If it should be, I would be happy, of course! The usibility of an Aurender is one more thing. Maybe Devialet´s awaited internal streaming section might solve ANY(!) problem, so that it becomes panacea with it. Hard time to decide whether to go with an Aurender or just wait another wile...

Well, it was good while it lasted.Oddly not Devialet's fault.There is an update to iTunes (12.04.0.119) today which causes Audirvana+ to crash at the end of each song, requiring a restart each time.

Having seen comments re Amarra on another thread, I was having a quick look at their website, and quite by coincidence spotted this:
iTunes 12.4 Update Issues: After updating to iTunes 12.4, users have experienced no sound output when using Amarra Hifi, Amarra or Amarra Symphony with iTunes. Please note that Amarra Playlist mode works fine. We have verified this issue - We recommend not updating to iTunes 12.4 at this time - If you already have updated to iTunes 12.4, we expect to have a fix in place for Amarra and Amarra Symphony shortly. - We are investigating a fix for Amarra Hifi and hope to have more information shortly. We are very sorry for any inconvenience and we appreciate your continued support. 1000 Pro - KEF Blade - iFi Zen Stream - Mutec REF10 - MC3+USB - Pro-Ject Signature 12

Don't know why I chose to try once again this @$#... It is worse than before... Before, I had problems with files of different bitrates using Air, Wifi or Ethernet. That's why I choose to use USB, with absolutely no problem at all.
But now, no sound at all ! I can see the Dev in the AIR config. When I chose it, the icon is Black. If I change the volume with the remote of the Dev, I can even see the volume changing in the AIR config menu. But when I start to play music (Itunes, or Audirvana), no sound at all, and the icon turns to grey after few seconds...

Actually in a first attempt, I didn't (with the previous version, I didn't have to do this). Then I tried with both the AIR icon and the MAC sound preferences... No sound... I still don't know why I try this because USB work so fine... MacMini -> Audirvana +AudioUnits -> Devialet "The 120" (USB) -> BW 802 Di -> My room -> My ears

I've got a strange experience with air3. I installed it for a few days now and the sound is awesome for 16/44 files. But while I played files with other "clock" like 24/96 there's some "creaks" that let me think about buffer issues.
Unfortunatly I try to play with air buffer and roon resync delay. I then realize that my macbook was connected to my network by ethernet and wifi (dev is connected in ethernet to my router) Disable wifi on the mac removes these "creaks" There's certainly an other way to resolve that like assign priorities to the mac network interfaces but I don't know how to do that. It's been a few days that i thought air is'nt working. In fact not it was just my own settings. For the little that I could hear, air 3 seems to be a very good thing !
