With my d1 server back in France for an upgrade I have been experimenting with Roon, AIR etc.
Last night I tried Audirvana with AIR.
I'm using a 13 inch Macbook Air (1.3 GHz Intel Core i5) running OS X Yosemite (10.10.4). Audirvana Plus is version 1.5.12. AIR is 2.1.3
Devialet firmware is 8.1.3 beta. Music files were copied over from my NAS.
At first it sounded awful. Figured something was definitely wrong so checked Audirvana Plus settings. For some reason it was outputting to Dirac! So I changed this to AIR. I also selected Direct Mode.
It now sounded better. I managed to listen to about 4 tracks before the DWN (Dreaded White Noise) arrived! There were also a couple of little pops first as if almost to announce the imminent arrival of DWN.
After this I turned the system off and went to bed.
