Hi
I run a celeron nuc 2820 with win 10, Roon and AIR. it will play 192 kHz files fine and 99 times out of 100 it will play dsd OK as well. I do, however get stuttering after a couple of hours of playing files at the same sample rate ( if I play a mixture of rates it doesn't seem to happen) and in the 1 out of 100 time I get white noise playing dsd.
I have also had blue screen problems with the air driver in the past but that now seems to have stopped or is very infrequent anyway.
When I used Windows 8 previously I couldn't play 192 files without white noise so win 10 seems to be the best option, apart from the occasional bsod.
AIR does give excellent sound quality, it is a shame that devialet don't seem to be trying harder to make it 100% robust. Maybe roon ready is our best hope?
Cheers
Chris
