The streaming proposition is moving at a hell of a pace whereas the AIR proposition has been static for quite a while albeit from a high starting point.
A poll on here seemed to place AIR ahead of streaming but that was, on average, a few months ago.
AIR, whether wifi or ethernet, has stability problems (white noise or crackles or dropouts), and based on data on here it appears to affect about 50% of users, some in a minor way and some much more significantly.
I suggest you try AIR ethernet first as, when stable, the sound is absolutely superb and it will cost you little. And at some point I hope Devialet will fix the stability issue.
