Phil,
Given what we understand about how AIR works, I'd expect it to be completely immune from such effects since there's no mechanism for such "noise" to affect the rate at which data is clocked on the Devialet itself. Which is nice - one less thing to worry about.

Ian, any ideas/thoughts on what the differences might be then? I know you're doing a lot of research into AIR at the moment..
