This afternoon I could borrow my wife’s laptop for a few hours to check the performance of AIR.
It was very satisfying. The Bluesound was no competition. Some minutes were enough to show that AIR sounds far better.
The rest of my time I’ve spent doing some A/B between the CD5 and Air.
Both sound very fine to my ears, but their sound is different. Maybe the CD5 has a bit more finesse and AIR is a bit more robust (sometimes a little more bass). Anyway, both sound glorious.
Next step will be buying a simple laptop and installing AIR on it.
Thank you all, for encouraging me to try out AIR.
