All good news on air 3 from me. I have a pretty simple setup in comparison to many of you out there on the leading edge;
Mac mini 2012 running el capitain => iTunes or Qobus => wifi (5ghz) => AirPort Extreme => Ethernet => devialet 800
Listening for several hours last night, drop out free compared to air 2 which would have dropped out at probably once an hour.
I also tried eliminating the Ethernet connection to the devialet and instead using wifi end-to-end. This had previously been unacceptable because drop outs / white noise would occurring every few minutes. Only listened for 1/2 hour or so, but no dropouts at all!
On SQ - not so sure - I've just taken delivery of new speakers so I'm still 'learning' my new system but I couldn't honestly say there was a significant improvement. However I do have a spare MacBook that I will setup with air 2, mirror the rest of the config and do some a/b comparisons.
