AIR had the potential to sound good, much better than USB but I find it in its present form unusable. Like Ian I thought that when I got my D-premier I will be able to receive wireless data and produce exemplary sound quality (no clutter but high-end sound). Upgrading to D250 had added ethernet (which I do not use presently as I gave up on WiFi) . One option Devialet could develop is a Dialog like device which allows to receive WiFi from a computer or better directly from a Wlan router and use ethernet cable to connect to an "expert".
A box with ethernet connection will be still an other box of clutter but I am thinking the design of the "expert" metal shell may prevent reliable WiFi. Also Devialet's ethernet connection is based on proprietary codes (i.e. AIR) and therefore not useable without AIR. Maybe the upgrade from D-Premier to D250 was big waste of money relative to a good USB converter (or even better I2S)!
