I hope we don't have to wait until the new boards are out, Roon had a beta that was streaming to the Expert so the boards are not a requirement. Hopefully Devialet is not holding them back.
I don't think AIR has anything to do with the receiving end of the Expert. You can(could?) send music from your iPhone to the Expert from the iOS app. Roon should just need to know what streaming protocol (RTP/RTSP?) the ethernet connection is expecting to receiving. This would eliminate any AIR issues. I could see Devialet wanting Roon to refer to the process as AIR for marketing reasons, but AIR as I understand it, is just a virtual soundcard that shouldn't have anything to do with the receiving end of the streaming process.
