Roon supports Devialet AIR

[Confused]

Jgw911 - I think baddog makes some excellent points in his posts above. I know how incredibly frustrating it can be when you have network or computer related issues, everything should work, but it does not and you cannot see why, it can drive you crazy! For me I like to look through things as logically as possible and try to 'information gather', with a good approach to change one aspect of the set-up and see how that influences the system. In your case you have the PC, NAS, network and Devialet. Picking up on what baddog has suggested I would propose that you load a small amount of music locally on the hard drive of your PC, maybe just a couple of hours worth. In Roon settings, 'storage' you can then disable everything except the local folder containing the two hours of locally stored tracks. My idea is that this then takes the NAS out of the system completely, not as a permanent solution to the issue, but purely as an experiment to isolate the issue. I think this should be relatively easy to do and well worth it for the information gathered. You can then try Roon AIR for a couple of hours simply using Roon Core and the locally stored music on the PC. If this works as it should, then at least you can see that network issues between the PC and NAS, or the NAS itself are at play, indeed, it may well indicate baddog's theory is correct. If the intermittent playback behaviour remains, then clearly it has nothing to do with the performance of the NAS, more likely to be an issue with other software or something on your PC, and you yourself have speculated, or network between the router and Devialet. Either way, it will be one step towards isolating the culprit. Anyway, if you have the time I think this might be giving a go, and whatever the outcome, you will at least have a bit more information to post here, between us we will crack this one eventually!
