Air3 WiFi now works fine, I can't comment about any improvements in SQ as it's been so long since I heard it as a source.
Fine until I select a file with a different bit rate which causes Audirvana and iTunes to sit there defiantly and refuse to load until I restart Audirvana.
So all in all, the Beta version giveth and taketh away.If nothing else it's a good test of memory trying to recall the differing bit rates of each file, and good exercise walking from room to room to restart Audirvana.
-40dBm is not strong enough. Mine is around -18dBm now.
