AIR 3 Beta for Mac

[Zappydev]

Please let us know how to perform this scan. Sounds very useful

Hi Canyelles,

I am not recommending you make this test, as this could put your Devialet into an unstable situation for some time. However, if you intend to proceed under your own responsibility, the network utility is described here : https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202790.

Once you have located the program (same place for 10.11.x as for 10.10.x), you just launch it, select the 'Port Scan' tab, enter the IP address of your Devialet and press scan. It takes a while to proceed as 65000 ports will be scanned.

The only use of this procedure is to create additional traffic to the network device and check whether the device can handle it. A well behaved and reasonably designed network interface will not be distracted by this additional traffic and will be able to handle the music packets at the same time. The Amethyst for instance is well able to do that.

Hi Bear

After a year with AIR2 that broke every five minutes for no reason, I am now trying to see just how far I can push AIR3b, so I have just tried the above procedure (Port Scan) on my system.

I had Hi Res music playing to my D400 throughout. I scanned the Ethernet IP address first, and then switched to WiFi and scanned that one as well. 

I did not have the slightest 'crackle' or disturbance during either scan. I am not sure what, if anything, that tells us, but personally, if Devialet told me that the sky was blue, I would probably go outside to check, just to be sure . . .
