Why should there be 2 connections to the Devialet? Either USB is used, in which case there is no need to engage AIR, or AIR is used either via WiFi or Ethernet... As far as I understand the issue, if USB is used there have been no instances of the White Noise Problem; it surfaces when using AIR.
I use AIR Ethernet, MBP > AIR Eth > D120, straight from my laptop to the D, no router or hub in the middle. I have had no problems this way, and whenever I had anything resembling those crackling noises the reason was something different: I had chosen a different track with usually a higher bit rate and somehow the laptop got the order to change its bit rate (checked at Audio Midi preferences) but this was not transmitted properly to the D, which still showed the previous bit rate (pressing Source, I think, in the Remote for a second or two brings the D's current bit rate). This "collision" in bit rates caused the problem, which was immediately solved by stopping the track and re-starting it or something like that, that causes the re-setting of bit rate in the D.
I hope Devialet solves this once and for all, and hope this helps those debugging the issue. All the best!
