I suspect I speak for most when I say that we all wish AIR worked as well for us as it does for the few that have spoken up.
My problem is that I've tried at least a half dozen different configurations trying to make it work. And it almost always does - at first. But after a few hours or at best days of intermittent use, it ends in white noise. It "seems" to occur more frequently with higher-res music, but not always. It "seems" to occur more often after several hours of continuous play, but not always. The only consistency that I've found is that it will invariably result in white noise, and if you've got the volume cranked when it does, well, you won't be happy.
The reason I've tried it so many times in different configurations is because of those users that indicate it is working perfectly for them. It's easy to think, then, that I should take a different approach. But at least for me, that has only let to increasing frustration.
So it seems prudent advice to tell someone that is experiencing the same symptoms to not waste their time. I have to agree with Zappydev there.
And, FYI - my devialet is using ethernet cabling - not wireless and I'm using a business-class router that has never given me any issues. I would love to see someone diagnose when/why AIR fails, but I've not read nor discovered anything that correlates.
