Stuttering

[baddog]

The issue of stuttering (music) via Air has been mentioned loads of times... could an external influence such is an iPhone be a contributing factor? Reasons for suggesting this are...
1 Post CI upgrade I have only experienced it once and that was when an iPhone was in the room. We are an idevice free house generally.
2 Googling reveals a number of reports of iPhones impacting wifi connectivity
I am not an expert on any of this but could it be so simple / pervasive that it has been missed?
All the best!

FWIW, my D440 Pro is connected via ethernet not Wifi. Have not had any issues with AIR protocol, either using the Devialet supplied drivers for both Macs and PCs, or the Roon supported integration that supports AIR. To put that in context that is for a period of about two years now, ever since Devialet released beta AIR driver updates about 2 years back.

Music is stored either on a NUC or a NAS, both connected via ethernet. 

Have two iPhones, sometimes three or more with visitors, all within close proximity to the Devialet ( less than 15 5feet ). Several iPads as well, but have not experienced the issue you are describing.

I don't see how there could be a correlation to AIR being impacted by an iPhone within it's presence. But also I have not read of this issues with iPhones impacting Wifi connectivity. I will have to read up on that. IMHO of course.
