IME AIR can be improved upon, that is the USB interface can better it SQ wise when using an optimized PC/USB subsystem (I personally never had any issues with AIR, either through WiFi/ethernet BTW). Different people on this forum share this experience.
And it's worse, I'm also suspecting the USB input of the Devialet to be of sub-par quality. Using the Mutec MC-3+ USB connected to the AES/EBU input of my Devialet showed considerable SQ improvements, even comparing it to using the same computer with different USB 'improvers' like the JCAT USB card (battery fed), Regen and Intona. Of course this could also be thanks to the Mutec perhaps being a better USB DDC and re-clocker.
I personally don't see a reason for a new thread. We're discussing the microRendu which is a Sonore product right?
