The best thing about it is that I don't have to reboot each time, simply switching from Ethernet to Air can do the job... Poor comforting!
Are you using Ethernet for your connection? You may still be using AIR. You know there are two AIR variants - AIR wifi and AIR ethernet? In its original form AIR was exclusively wifi. Since the move from D-Premier to 120/200/250, AIR can be wifi or ethernet. Both have the same fault, generally less profound using ethernet, though often only in terms of time before emergence rather than severity.
If you have any hi-res files, is the noise more apparent and happens quicker with those files - that may the norm as far as I can tell?
I suggest you raise it with Devialet. They suggested to me it happens in only 2% - 5% of cases which simply does not tie in with the fact that I have had nine equipment variants (eighteen if you count ethernet cable changes) and I get noise with all of them which I have tried - probably not tried all eighteen but the evidence is clear.
I bet the incidence is much higher - there were some indications on this forum that it happened to up to one third of users.
