AIR 3 Beta for Mac

[Beajuju]

I downloaded the Air 3 Beta for Mac a few days ago. Everything played fine, iTunes, Audirvana and Roon until...this morning. The same problem I encountered with Air 2 came back. The music stutter (griche in french) after a few minutes with Roon and Audirvana . My OS is 10.11.5. Am I the only one? I delete the Air 3 and reinstalled it but same issue : (

I have a Mac mini with Ethernet cat 7.

Can you tell us a little more about your setup?

Are you using a WIFI or ethernet connect for the Devialet?

Does the stutter occur with high resolution music or any music?

Where are your music files stored?

Are you up sampling in Audirvana?


I have been using it for more than a week now.

Music on Synology NAS connected via ethernet to switch.
Mac Mini ( 2012 with 16GB memory /SSD boot disk i7 quad core processor and RoonServer & AIR 3) connected via ethernet to switch.
D400 connected via ethernet to switch.

All three of those devices are in different rooms.

Once every three days I will get a small drop out that lasts lest then a second. Not a burst of noise, just a brief drop. However this last for less than a second, and over the course of several hours does not occur again. I have had this happen when playing back a Tidal selection, once with a 24/44 file, and I did not make note of the other times it happened ( I am tracking that now ).

I am running El Capitan on my Mac Mini. Just RoonServer and AIR 3 running on the Mac Mini.

Latest version of firmware on the Devialet.

I used CCleaner prior to installing AIR 3 to ensure I had removed any old instances of AIR 2.

I do not have any other startup items on my Mac Mini other than RoonServer and AIR 3.

I use Ethernet Audioquest Cinnamon cat 7 to switch. Switch to my Devialet 250 (also with an Audioquest Cinnamon cat 7). My Mac mini have attached a SSD drive where is music library. The stutter occur with streaming music (Tidal and Web radio in Roon) and my music library (red book Cd and HD with Audirvana and Roon). No up sampling.
