AIR not yet compatible with Yosemite for MAC

But the large buffer on the Devialet surely isolates the time-critical part (audio playback) from the vagaries of whatever is happening on the host computer and in the network, doesn't it? And with wireless AIR you also don't have any possible dependency on Ethernet cables to (possibly) inject noise into the ground plane, or whatever else they might do. So purely theoretically I'd expect AIR to sound similarly good independent of the host.

What seems harder to explain on technical grounds is why USB should sound better than AIR. Dare I say it: maybe it's cable sensitivity by the same token (no pun intended!) as wired AIR?
