The Windows version allows me to enable DSD over PCM. The Mac version still requires convert DSD to PCM.
Regardless both the Windows and Mac versions have been working flawlessly for me. No bursts of noise ( have not had this ever since I switched to the AIR 3 Beta for Mac, not even once ). No dropouts, even the occasionally millisecond ones I would get maybe once a day with the initial Mac AIR3 Beta version. Both versions sound great.
I am using ethernet connections for the D400 and for either the Windows laptop or Mac Mini, both of which are running RoonServer, and for my Synology NAS which has my music files.
Well done baddog for getting both Mac and Windows AIR 3 working flawlessly! Your comments re DSD are noted. However, sticking with redbook and PCM material, do you have any observations regarding how Windows and Mac AIR 3 compare with respect to sound quality? Have you noticed and differences?
