Once again this is where I get to , I lose patience with Devilalet over the AIR issue and even Dialog. I make the decision to go and get a streamer and then when I start to investigate the options none of them really push all the right buttons , and I therefore tend to sit on the fence again.
I think I do this as I love the sound of AIR and I would be gutted if I shelled out extra cash for a streamer and I found myself with inferior sound quality.
The Aurender N100 is the one I would ultimately chose if I wanted to do the job property, but I go back to my original hopes when purchasing the 200. For a sort of one box one brand solution feeding my PMCs which I would have possibly upgraded to the 26s in time.
This is why Dialog appeals , but I do understand the concerns stated above. I guess over the last few years I have sort of subscribed to the view that getting the music to the system should be as good with a cheap option as its the 200 and the speakers that ultimately do the work and produce the sound quality.........although I am by no means any expert on this. Also with the likes of the Melco and Aurender products I am now starting to question this. I do feel that for my needs though this is the way I will go. AIR serves that purpose well and I am not sure my system will benefit form lots of cash being thrown at a streamer.
AIR is great but I think will always have problems as PCs always have software issues and classes from my experience . So eventually I will probably take this out of the playback chain, although as Alex points out I also love the JRiver app and remote, it's brilliant for my needs.
Thanks again for all the very helpful replies.
