AIR 3 Beta for Mac

[KraaijCheck]

Just a short comment about SQ (means apart from the glitches I reported earlier).

I used Audirvana in upsampling, exclusive and direct modes, integer mode set to 1.

SQ was, in my opinion, the very best my D900 had produced so far. Music was very airy, very natural, with a large separation between instruments, and the sound stage was very comparable to the sound stage I am getting from Trinnov Amethyst used as a home renderer. Which suggests that, as written by GuillaumeB, Devialet has been able to provide a very good and jitter free clock signal to the DAC which is very encouraging for future developments which are contemplated in other threads on this forum.

So this is a very positive development for me. I sincerely hope and trust Devialet will be able to reach the level of quality and reliability we have all been waiting for with this connection. And finally deliver the one box fits all solution we have purchased when buying this product.

I left my system (D400/Roon with AIR3) running overnight, as a stability test. Before leaving my apartment, the last thing I did was set the volume to -70dB using the remote.

When I arrived back home, the system was still running, and Roon history showed it had been playing steadily throughout the night (Roon radio). This is very good news regarding the stability of AIR3 now. However, the music was loud, and the volume was now showing -12 dB. The property was completely empty, and no-one else shares my WiFi. Ghosts in the machine ? This is very spooky for me.

I had this before. Belief this has something to do with the volume settings in Roon. Don't choose "fixed volume" and "set max volume".
Now i have set is on "use device controls" and don't have this problem anymore.
