Last time I tried it, which was nearly a year ago, it sounded awful; I think there was some kind of sync problem resulting in frequent, periodic, just-about-audbile glitches.
Why don't I just try it for myself? I'd need to arrange another Roon trial to find out for myself and there's little point in doing so if it's known not to work.
Thanks in anticipation...
I definitely hear of people using the two together successfully. I think it needs the extra buffering in Roon in the setup (the friendly named 'power of two buffer'). One of the developers was also working on serial connection/control for expert series, so I imagine they're familiar with Devialet now.
I'm sure they'd allow another trial if you explain the AIR issues.
Can report that we have good success running ROON on an older Macbook, NAS stored music and AIR 3 beta ethernet hard wired to the Ds. The sound easily bettered the Auralic Aries we had been using. Never attempted via WIFI.
