New product launch?

[Dr Tone]

Long time lurker here. I just wanted to provide my experience with working with AIR and maybe provide some ideas for some of you.  

I have almost no problems with AIR and it sounds great.  However initially I had the same problems that every one is mentioning.  For the first six months it was a very fustrating experience.  I had about a 20-25% success with AIR.....dropouts and white noise every 5-10minuites.  Then I read the discussion on this forum about the benefits of the Entreq grounding blocks and decided to try adding local grounding (strictly for reasons of improving the sound, i had given up on AIR and was using a streamer/DAC combo into my Devialet).  However after making some inexpensive DYI grounding elements and grounding my Devialet 200, Apple airport router, and computer my success with air shot up to about 95% with very few dropouts or white noise, just beautiful sound.  It has been working great for the past 9 months since I grounded my equipment using local ground elements and not relying on house/building ground.  My guess is that the resistance on house ground is in many cases far too high to properly shunt the small current noise that creates problems for high quality digital audio transmission.

I'm 1000% happy with AIR on my Devialet 200 since grounding my system.  My audio now consists of computer wifi over AIR To Devialet 200 and a pair of B&W speakers.  Sold all my other equipment and cables.

You are 1000% happy with 95% successful?  Wow, amazing how many people will accept crap!  No wonder Devialet doesn't care.
