Regular readers will know I have had white noise using a MacBook and Expert 800 and Magico Q1 for 18 months or more.
I've been liaising with Devialet on this for those 18 months.
Latterly, Devialet thinks it established the fault (clocking misalignment between MacBook and Devialet) but with no solution.
This week, Guillaume directed me to someone in the Chat with a possible solution; who simply told me to get music playing on AIR wifi then disconnect the internet.
Tested Tuesday; Wednesday overnight on 16/44.1; and Friday through the day and overnight (6 hours/6 hours/9 hours) on hi-res.
No white noise!
Looks very promising. Never had such sustained solution with such a cause-and-effect correlation.
May be other influencing factors which have changed (e.g. router, Mac release, firmware release) so this is by no means claimed to be universal (or even permanent, but the latter is hopeful).
