![]() ![]() So perhaps people could post their experiences using Airplay and tips for better reliability. My Rega dac is unusable without the utility running, and fine with it so roc solid proof that something is most definitely going on. This appears to increase the frequency at which the pc polls the AEX over wi-fi, and contains the tendency to drift. One trick which definitely helps is to run the Airport Utility program in the background whilst streaming. Some dacs don't work at all, others work intermittently and some seem to be fine. It would seem that OSX periodically polls the AEX and pulls it back into line, causing the often reported juddering and stuttering and the sample rate suddenly jumps and the dac drops lock. The big potential problem with Airplay, certainly as implemented in the AEX is that the clock frequency walks around alarmingly - not the usual jitter but very slow and gradual rising and falling over many seconds or minutes. Following on from some recent diversions in other threads I though a general thread on Airplay, the benefits and problems might prove useful. ![]()
