Well, after 5 days of AIR 3 beta for Windows working perfectly and sounding very good indeed, I ran into white noise this evening. It occurred after maybe 30 minutes of playing 192/24 music. Now, yesterday, I played several hi-res albums in a row with no problem, but this evening, AIR raised it's ugly, noisy head. It sounds the same as the white noise of v2.13 -- abrupt and definitely louder than the volume of the music that was playing. I could not stop it via the Roon control so I went to the Roonserver and disabled the AIR application.
note: my computer and Devialet 200 are both using ethernet on my gigabit LAN.
I will say that for me, AIR 3 beta has been far more stable than AIR 2.13 ever was. But still... abrupt, loud white noise will never be acceptable. So at this point, I'll switch back to my uRendu and wait for a production release.
