That's a tricky one, they're very similar as you'd expect I suppose.
When I first switched back to AIR I felt it was clearly better - more energetic perhaps and better bass. And by clearly I still mean subtle.
After a weekend, I think the AIR sound may be slightly more fatiguing in the treble - maybe the energetic aspect isn't so good longer term. I still feel bass and soundstage is slightly better for some reason. It's all very subjective.
The upshot is I'm happy to live with it. I might try a linear on my switch or a lan isolator and see what happens (if anything). Here we go, more tinkering gadgets......
Haven't tried Dirac yet as I don't have a license. I'm still undecided whether to go there, or try and get filters into Roon just in case I end up changing my mind!
And, er, thanks Guillaume!
I use an iFi ipower on the switch, only Eur 50.
