A lot of hot AIR from Devialet?

[Damon]

Sorry I should maybe have been more clear here: 120/200/250/400/800 are all "older" models in this context. This is the so called "Expert" line. They all have the same issue with AIR.

I know this thread won't be as much fun without a dissenter, and I've got all afternoon open....(insert smiley to indicate good intentions). Actually, I'm not taking a contrary line. But I think would be correct to separate the expert line issues from the spark / dialogue / phantom issues. They may be related, but it we're going to be most effective in prompting Devialet if the focus of of the problem is distinct. Or not. 

I'm not running a dual mono set up, and I don't have many hi-res/ high nitrate files. But I did dig up the few 24/ 96 files I have, and I streamed them using AIR on ethernet and wifi. Router is wired to D120 with ethernet, and wireless from iMac to router, using iTunes and running Mavericks. I did not have any dropouts or noise issues at all. I've been doing this for a few days before posting. My D120 was manufactured in July 2014 according to the info on the display, so would be an updated 110.

If fact the only issue I've had has been with the airport express forgetting itself; the D120 has been flawless. Because I'm not using 24/192 or higher files, my trial may not be relevant to the the others, but I thought I would post it, if only as low-level reference. At this point, however, I don't think we can say that all Expert line products demonstrate this behaviour.
