AIR 3 Beta for Mac

[NickB]

OK on Guillaume's advise I have tried AIR3. Just to show how complicated my stream is I am using Roon and its a bit of a hash up to use AIR as its only on Mac.

My Roonserver is running on a Linux server as a virtual machine on my QNAP NAS upstairs connected to a Vigor 2860ac router. The only Mac I have is my wife's MacBook Air which is downstairs and connected wirelessly. My D800 is upstairs in the lounge connected with standard rj45 to the Vigor via a TP link switch.

So at present the stream goes NAS to vigor then wireless to Mac and back, then through the Vigor and TP link and on to the D800.

So what do I think - its incredible the sound is amazingly clear, 3 dimensional and organic. Huge levels of micro detail and rock solid. Just been out for 3 hours and left Radio Paradise running and came back to ........... Radio Paradise still playing and perfect. Now to stress test with Hi Def stuff and some Tidal.
