I have to admit i can't recall if I got the white noise issue prior to mid-2014.
I also only got dropouts but then I was using JRiver/AIR (WASAPI bit perfect). It was only since trying iTunes/AIR (not bit perfect) that I heard the white noise issue in place of dropouts. Duration of events is about the same (maybe 2-5 seconds each) though I did get one white noise event that just went on for over a minute until I had to turn off the Devialet.
Frequency of white noise/dropouts seems to increase if higher res music is played.
