Once again thanks for the help with this.
I think if there is still a doubt about AIR with a Mac mini I would not be prepared to take that risk, as I know there are many people having AIR issues with Mac gear too.
I am using Ethernet AIR and not wifi. Like I say when lap top is in same room I have had no dropouts or white noise for a few months. The lap top is wifi to the router as not practical to hard wire it.
Once again I will probably sit on the fence and wait for Dialog, I just keep having these moments of impatience ?
When I bought the Devialet my intention was to use it as an all in one and as the streamer too as I would then focus on maybe getting a speaker upgrade later, therefore the cash going toward this. I also like the idea of one brand as I really can't be bothered with software update after software update. I thought that if I stick with one brand this will cut this down a bit and have more chance of less conflicts. If Dilalog matches AIR in sound quality I will be well pleased.
When the lap top is not in main room the CD transport has to be used and it's still really good through the 200. But it's not as good as AIR in my opinion. Lacks a bit of the bass and sounds a little bright in comparison.
I am no expert by any means but when I decided to go for the 200 it was based on my idea of having the 200 and speakers as my high end gear if you like. A digital feed was less important to me as I believe the main two things to spend the cash on we're the 200 and the speakers. Just my thoughts and not saying this is the correct way, but for now I want to stick with this.
Some great replies so thanks
