A lot of hot AIR from Devialet?

[Womaz]

When I purchased the 120 less than two months ago, I immediately set up the system via AIR Ethernet and within very little time, the crackling noises appeared. After lurking these forums, contacting their support and joining this forum it became clear that this is a widespread issue for others as well. So, this left me no option but to use USB, which works but it would be nice to be able to have all connectivity options working for comparisons.

I was sold on the technology, the possible promise of some sort of UPnP protocol coming and a company who seemed to have a pulse on offering a great user experience. So about six weeks into this new adventure, I am feeling a little underwhelmed by some of the software and firmware shortcomings.

At the price these devices cost, it should simply work out-of-the-box. If this were 2008 when I first tried setting up a NAS, a Linn DS and music server software, I might be more inclined to be forgiving.

I think you make a very good point.

I am trying not to worry too much as I have the best sound I have ever had in my life......so a few hiccups I will try and take on the chin. But you are right. I have just got a new laptop, paid for JRiver software and a better cable ordered , all to use AIR.
