After gathering a substantial amount of evidence, including recordings of the problems, I submitted a complaint to Devialet and had a quite constructive discussion with their support/dev today.
It appears that :After this discussion, having a better understanding of what was happening, I decided to use the optimization scripts from CAD : http://www.computeraudiodesign.com/osx-a...imization/
- the cracklings I heard are real and not the results of my imagination
- the network interface of the D900 I was suspecting to be defective is working ok
- the cracklings are produced when the Mac does not have enough resources to flush the network packets to the network interface at a fast enough pace
- they are working on an improvement but the subject is technically arduous
I will continue testing to see if any improvement occurred after deactivating all the services which I am not using anyway.
Just in case this helps anyone else...
Hello Bear
I am curious - what specification of Mac are you using ? Their explanation regarding "resources" sounds a bit suspect to me. I am using an iMac from 2008, with just 4Gb memory and a Core2 Duo processor, but with AIR3b the performance has been near-perfect with ETH and also WiFi, including HiRes, the same machine is also running Dirac and Roonbridge, so there is quite a bit going on inside this elderly machine . . .
Is the rest of your network behaving OK?
