What will a streamer add?

[Womaz]

I guess its more a general question I am asking. Will a streamer add a significan improvement in SQ over AIR.?

Honestly, I think that's a very difficult question for anyone to answer except you...because the question implies the words "in your system, in your listening environment, to your ears".  Of course the answer also depends on what you consider to be significant, and how much money you're willing to spend to achieve an improvement.  So there are many factors involved, most of which are subjective or personal.

While it's very interesting hearing what other people have to say, and it can give you some good starting points, I suggest you should try to audition some streamers in your system and see for yourself whether or not you think they sound significantly different from / better than AIR.

Don't forget that it's not necessarily all about the sound quality.  For me, it's very important that the streamer and its control software are reliable and easy to use; I'd sacrifice the last word in sound quality to be able to easily choose what I want to listen to and have it play without any worries over software crashes, drop-outs, etc., etc.  I suppose that's a conclusion you've also reached after having some problems with AIR.

Yes the problems with AIR mean I may have to look at the next purchase a little earlier than anticipated.
Since using AIR i have been very impressed with the SQ. The more I listened to it the more I loved it. Its a massive improvement on my CLIC. this was noticeable when i used the CLIC today for the first time since last week.
If AIR was stable it would be a no brainer for me. Wait for cash for a speaker upgrade.
I have also started using the JRiver Media software and the JRemote app. This app is a dream to use. It has all that I require.
When I stared my Devialet journey i always thought spend the bulk of the cash on the Devialet and the speakers. Using AIR has strengthened that belief........but yes of course there are the drop outs and white noise. So far for me this has only happened after hours of listening. I may be one of the luckier ones, although when it happens just as you are engrossed in the music.......well there is nothing more frustrating.

In despite of all this the 200 is a bloody delight. i am still in awe of how good it sounds.
