I stream using JRiver on my laptop. The NAS drive is Ethernet wired to my 200 if that helps. I use the JRiver app on my Ipad and occasionally control it from the laptop.
Do you have a robust router/connection to the laptop/ipad? A high end router via 5Ghz is essential even for airplay at low bit rates. More thruput and way less interference.
I use a TPLink Archer C7 router; ASUS and Netgear make great routers also. Browsing is much faster as well. Wireless is the bottleneck.
Then you have to experiment with router/antenna position, as these things have dead spots, even close by.
Also, I find that for each source change, a disconnect/change source/reconnect procedure with the AIR app on my mac helps
to minimize dropouts and that ticking noise. The disconnect/reconnect also resolves the noise.
As a last resort, I have a very good sounding Straightwire USB 3.0 m cable. $70
This is all software. Software is inherently buggy. Remains to be seen how dedicated Devialet is to improving performance. They seem to be overwhelmed w Phantom problems at the moment.
Is your D200/router ethernet wired or wireless? I'd go router ethernet to both NAS and to D200. Use Cat6a cable.
