A lot of hot AIR from Devialet?

[Ants]

Just wanted to report my findings seeing I've had issues with crackling noises since the beginning. Wanting to experiment a little, I used the AIR-ETH exclusively this evening to play music. All music files used are 16/44 ALAC. I listened to four complete albums in a row. On the fifth, halfway through the crackles began. I simply stopped and restarted the play button on iTunes and noise was gone. I was able to listen to the remainder of the album without any issues. No changes to network settings. I was as I always do, using my laptop for some light surfing and email on the same network.

Tomorrow, I will try a blend of 16/44 and 24/96 using the same connection to see if I can maintain a crackle free music session for a few hours.
