Which proves my point that we don't always hear what we expect to hear :-)

That´s absolutely true. I could not agree more.
From time to time I make a comparison between the two (Roon/RAAT and Roon/AIR) and i´m almost convinced that the sound inproved since i have Roon Ready without the "unlicenced" note in the settings, but when i switch to AIR there is still a subtly more detailed sound, i must say.
Perhaps David A is right, about the influence of speakers from the same "family". It´s all so subjective...

Mac mini with Roon, Devialet 220 Pro CI, Black Sixteen speaker cables, Sonus Faber Guarneri Tradition and a pair of ears.
