AIR 3 Beta for Mac

[deOnn]

I've tested the AIR3 for a few days now and I guess it's in line with what others have reported
- definitely more stable than AIR2. Was getting dropouts with AIR2.
- got a few hisses but they seemed to have disappeared with the 2000ms setting
- delay on one instance went to 6sec even though my setting was at 2000ms (2sec). A restart of Spotify playing resolved that.
- Spotify Premium and Audirvana 2.5 playing FLAC tested

Sound wise. TBH i've mostly used USB from MacMini up til now. Comparing USB and AIR3, I would say on USB the sound has more dynamics while over AIR sound is more natural. Classical or vocals listeners may prefer AIR.
I'm definitely happy that AIR is perfectly usable, it gives me the real option now of not firing up the MacMini & TV. I can do MacbookAir over AIR, for quick music sessions. Will I stick to MacMini or go to AIR? I'm afraid MacMini is still first option as I personally watch youtube music videos and the time delay however small still bugs me. For music alone, AIR3 is perfectly usable for me.

Fingers crossed the stable release will be even better. Also waiting to see what new features come our way.
