I once used Air along with an Apple Extreme, quality ethernet cables, got this all going well apart from drop outs, these happened at any time.
Some days it wouldn't miss a beat with nothing altered, then the next i would have to stop playing music in this way and revert to good old compact disc.
I then got wondering, downloaded Kinsky and connected via usb cable and sound improved no end, i could play from the melco with no drop outs, the only problem was Kinsky. So i went and set up my Roon account on my laptop with the ipad calling the shots, but i had to have the laptop run all the time, so i invested in the Intel I7 NUC and set up Roon Rock, now pure bliss music pours out no trouble, between the NUC and the Devialet i tried an IFI usb 3 with there own usb cables, so far it hasn't been removed, it hasn't taken anything away from the music,just cleared the edges just like a quality lens on a dslr.
