Ethernet or wifi streaming and white noise on Mac

[Womaz]

Great news Ian. The new beta did not work for me either, but when I move my laptop into the same room as my router , well so far I have had no white noise. It has been 2 weeks now with none. As soon as I move the laptop back into my work area, the white noise kicks back in within an hour or so.

Hopefully they now have more to go on and may be able to finally solve this.

@Womaz, this conversation probably does not belong to this thread, but rather the one specific to "WN on Windows", but I'll reply to your post anyway. I've just realized that you're not using an Ethernet connection, but WiFI. The fact that your problem is cured by the laptop's proximity to the router tells me that it's WiFi/signal strength dependent, and probably has nothing to do with AIR proper. I also suspect that the "white noise" you're getting is (somewhat) different from the variation most of us are afflicted with. Or else, there is a possiblity that with a poor WiFi connection, AIR has to work harder (there being more errors and retries to deliver the lost packets), and this makes it more vulnerable to the timing issues Ian had described to us. Could this (heavy traffic from AIR) also be the reason why the 24/192 format is more likely to expose the problem?
Anyhow, it's essential that you share your observations with Devialet: they may be useful to them.

Hi I am using the Ethernet setting on the 200 but my lap top is wifi yes. To be honest I have not really found devialet to be that helpful in trying to sort out my issues. I now mainly use my CD transport to play music and I am hoping that Dialog solves the issue.

When the lap top can be in the same room then its not a problem. I am no computer expert but I have never had wifi issues in the past, but I do agree it seems to be that this is the issue. I have always avoided having my laptop as part of the music chain, other than for ripping CDs and I think I will go back to this in the future too as there are too many things that can go wrong. Software conflicts etc and all I want to do is listen to music.

Thanks for the input
