So now I have a bit of a quandary
I thought I would give the RC Beta 3 on Mac a go, after all, when I bought my Dev 200 I had wanted to use AiR and keep it all simple. As we know, thus far AiR has been a nightmare for most, but hey ho, I gave it a go.
Firstly, with a straight Ethernet connection, it worked through a few tracks and I thought this pretty good, but not up to the SQ of my recent microRendu setup. What the heck I thought, I will switch the network feed that my MR was receiving, which is a pair of TP Link 110 optic fibre isolators, with the unit nearest the MR receiving power from one of the rails of my JS-2. Wow, this elevated the SQ in AiR3 to a level I had not heard before from AiR.
I thought I would stress this a little, so my iMac, which stores my music, runs Roon server and HQP, with a selection of various format tracks all up sampled by HQP to 192kHz. Set HQP to output to Devialet AIR, and I ran for a good hour or so without a hitch. Wonderful sound, no glitches, nothing.
I will persist with this for a few more sessions after my work day, but already the thoughts in my head, have Devialet finally cracked this!?!
