Jitter, AIR and USB

[Confused]

I sold everything and bought a Devialet to turn in a much simpler direction, and now... this.

LOL! The easiest way to be happy is to stay away from any forum or social media altogether. Don't read on and stay blissfully unaware.

A Devialet, a digital source and a pair of speakers. Who has this working properly, please?

Worry not!  I ran my D240/250 and then D800 for a long time using AIR.  Since then I have been trying many things, streamers, endpoints and so on.  I now run a microRendu, Mutec front end.  Is it better than AIR?  Yes it is, but not by a massive margin.  Last weekend I tried AIR with the 1000 Pro, it was absolutely fine, I could sit listening to it all day.  (all year even, if I had the time)

So if you have your Devialet and speakers, why not just enjoy the music and forget about all the stuff like optimising for jitter reduction?  For me, I do find this stuff very interesting, but sometimes I just want to forget about all the 'audiophile' tweaking and just enjoy some tunes.  So if you are happy with how your set-up sounds, then just enjoy the music, that would make you the smart one!
