Having used the Mac AIR3 Beta and now Release candidate happily for quite some time now, I decided to once again try AIR on my Windows 10 HP laptop, the last time at which I was ready to hurl the whole thing out the window ( no pun intended ) because of a moving set of issues.
Happy to report that installation was a snap, running under Windows 10 with RoonServer, with music on my Synology NAS. As a bonus I can use DoP on the Windows version and playback has been wonderful.
I don't plan on doing a side by side comparison between AIR 3 on my Mac Mini versus the Windows laptop, however I can state I am very pleased with the sound quality and stability of the Windows 3 Beta version from Devialet. My hats off to them on the wonderful improvements.
Still no regrets on moving on from the microRendu ( and to each their own to the happy microRendu users ).
Will update if anything heinous occurs.
