I got a noise a bit like a pulse jet after a while. I had already had some hesitations.
I am rebuilding the system back to Mavericks (which I like less than Snow Leopard but that backup is too old) from yesterday's Time Machine backup.
7 hours to go...
No more software update/downgrades for me.

I did the same thing. I erased my Mac mini hard drive and Yosemite, reinstalled Mavericks and Air 2.1.2. Everything is fine now. No noise, no crackling. I tried Mavericks with Air 2.1.3. and the noise and crackling came back.

Wondering if any of you have informed Devialet that you only get AIR issues from the new upgrades. I am a new 200 owner and the AIR issue is starting to get to me now. I paid £5990 for a product which has known issues................i get frustrated until I listen to some music ( via CD of course ) then I am in heaven again. Smile
