Crackling noise with AIR WLAN

[blair.athol]

Just read this on the Devialet web sit:
"DIALOG is ready for PHANTOM and will come mid-2015 to DEVIALET EXPERT amplifiers."
Also, the Spark application is ready for download but it works with Phantom only.

Beside that, I contacted the Devialet support because I was experiencing some crackling noise when playing highres music (96khz/24bit) via AIR/Ethernet from my Mac (Yosemite). This noise occurred on irregular times and disappeared after stopping and re-starting the Air application on my Mac.
Devialet answered very quickly, this is what they wrote:
"These cuts usually happens because of the network signal that is not well received by the Devialet; Our engineers are planning to improve the situation in a next update; By experience you can maybe get a better sound quality without cuts by changing the buffer. We use a 1000ms buffer and it reduces cuts here."

I have changed the buffer to 1000ms and it seems to work now without crackles although I might have to listen and enjoy a bit longer, just to ensure ;-)
