I've now had AIR 3.0.4 going for almost 48 hours via ethernet, and for the first time in my experience there have been no nasties - except briefly at the beginning when avp.exe (Kaspersky) started. I lowered its priority via Process Lasso, and it has been solid ever since.
The sound is noticeably superior to both USB via Audiophilleo, and native USB. The most obvious thing is that the top end is more open and the soundstage is deeper. I'm drawn into listening much more than usual.
I agree with Hifi_swlon about the bass being "better" as a general observation, but I haven't deliberately listened to any particular bass test tracks yet.
So far this is the best sound by far from my Devialet.
Cheers,
Graeme
