In fact I've been running Qobuz desktop on my Macbook Air and streaming to my Devialets using AIR 3 beta all afternoon.
I've been mainly listening to music I've never heard before. I haven't had a single dropout and the sound has been fabulous.
At the moment I'm playing this:

I should add that I'm now running 10.0.2 and that I've updated my config to 1kW. At first I wasn't sure if I liked the new firmware finding it a touch analytical and reminding me a bit of some earlier firmwares we've had. The 100W boost came a day or two later and has definitely brought something interesting to the party.
As Mathieu at Devialet never tires of telling us, one can never have enough power!

Of all the posts made over the past couple of weeks this is probably the one I most empathise with. Even though I'm 'only' using a 200 with Macbook/AIR 3 and Qobuz/iTunes the sound is superb and Ive never enjoyed my Hi-Fi more : I can't wait to try a 'Pro'.
I honestly cannot fault Qobuz desktop + AIR 3, it is utterly superb.
Spent another day streaming music in this way.

Updated to firmware 10.0.2 as well, and I'm finding in my system that the sound has become more liquid and "analog". The results depend on the system, I guess. My Devialets still showing 900 W in 6 ohms. Can't seem to find the option to change this to 1,000 W. Could anyone help? R. Aker
