AIR is the name for Devialet's streaming solution. It can use an ethernet or WiFi connection from a PC or Mac running the AIR driver and media player.
There's also the option of USB from PC/Mac into the Devialet. It doesn't use the AIR driver but USB Audio 2 drivers. USB needs tweaking to sound as good and better than AIR from the box.
AIR is not yet/officially supported on the latest versions of Windows and OS X. Devialet has not given any statement if/when these will be offically supported. There's a number of people that run into problems using AIR. Devialet is not helping these people properly and taking too long to solve their issues. No one here can predict if you will run into these issues. Perhaps you can agree to a trial with your dealer.
