I think something, somewhere, runs out of memory. Also, longer buffers are just a little bit anoying, and I am not aware of any firm evidence that they improve sound quality at all. So if everthing is stable, keep it low!
This is actually a very interesting observation, which may be directly related to the thread discussing the "occasional white noise" problem. And it may indeed point to AIR's memory issues. It is, of course, system specific, as I recall I was able to play 24/192 with a 3000 ms buffer, without any systematic issues. Devialet used to recommend longer buffer settings for improved streaming stability, at least, when WiFi is used. I think you should let Devialet know about this quirk. They WERE willing to do a phone debugging session with me, but I can't recreate my streaming problems at will. It sounds like you can, at least this one.
Actually, I think this is a slightly different issue, i.e. AIR cuts out completely (diables). No white noise! Nothing, silence!
