Of course they should make AIR as fool proof as possible but streaming audio still is a semi real-time application in which it is important that everything in the chain performs well. It's very difficult to support a solution that works on such a wide array of devices/configurations. Remember there are many people that don't have any issues with AIR but Devialet can't control the customers computer but they do have full control over the Dialog (it's internal workings) that replaces that computer.
Surely you still need a computer, or at least a NAS drive to actually get the music files to a Dialog? Even NAS drives can come with a variety of software and set-ups. (Obviously I am ignoring the options to stream from an iPhone or similar)
Perhaps it would make sense if Devialet were to advise the full spec requirement for a NAS drive to feed Dialog, thus giving full control of the complete streaming chain.
