AIR 3 beta for Windows
Just completed 5 hrs streaming at 24/192 without any white noise. Previously got white noise after 10-90 mins. Only stopped it because I wanted to listen to a different source.
Sound quality seems excellent too.
I had really written off AIR, but I now think it sounds now better than the USB I had been using.
On the face of it a big win, will continue testing it.

Use something like CCleaner. Back up the registry beforehand. Uninstall AIR, run CCleaner to clean the registry several times (there may be dependent settings it misses on the first pass), reboot, install AIR.

Amazing - finally after Regedit work & CCleaner it works!!! Great community power.
And Devialet should provide that information in their Q&A / help section Smile

I cant even get it to install on my computer and I have done everything above.....as soon as I click install the window disaperes and then there is nothing....MERD

The only predictable thing about AIR in the past was that it is unpredictable.  I've streamed DSD64 for more than 5 hours before getting a blast and then the next time within an hour.

I had some issues with my antivirus software (Avast) flagging AIR3b when I installed it. Had to turn off Avast briefly for the install.

Thanks, the only thing I did not remember to try. Now the installation worked.

Nice HK!. It would be helpful if you can share little bit of H/w details - where did you install AIR3, where is installed ROON etc.

I will try to update my system artwork later. Basically, I have replaced AIR2.1.3 with AIR3.0b on the Win8.1 notebook which is also running RoonBridge (and Fidelizer). RoonServer is still running on a Win10 NUC (no change).
Before: Le200, KEF LS50, AQ Type4, NUC 5i5RYH/8GB/128GB M.2SSD, Roon, Win8.1/AIR2.1.3/RoonBridge, MM/AIR3/RoonBridge, QNAP TS-212P 5TB NAS, AQ NRG-X3

Now: KEF LS50W, NUC5i5RYH/8GB/128GB M.2SSD, Roon, QNAP TS-212P 5TB NAS,iFi iSilencer3.0+DC iPurifier+iPurifier2, Sonos ZP80+SPDIF iPurifier

Thanks! this is good. Time for NUC (fully loaded Smile, All In - Music, RoonServer, Air3).

That's most likely due to the Windows firewall. Try to disable it in your System Settings and see if the Devialet shows up in AIR.

I am also thinking of a NUC now or perhaps the new SKULL as it can hold two M2 SSD disks and I dont have that much music so 500GB is enough and then one disk for Windows and Roon server.

How do you feel Fidelizer improved the sound? I am new to this computer thing is the computer usefull as normal with Fidelizer or do you need to turn that of to use the computer as normal.
