Especially if you have a PS Audio DAC with PS Audio I2S over HDMI input, the Air Lens can certainly be worth the money. Have you researched at all what it can and cannot do? The term “streamer” covers a very broad range of functions. With the Air Lens, it is particularly important to know that it has no USB output and has no music app of its own. It is a “bring your own” music source and app device. Many users already have Roon on other devices. Or are Tidal subscribers, for example. And so these are not issues for them. Folks on the forum can help more if you can describe your use case(s).
In fairness, one might only need to read about a thousand of them. Looks like the beta units shipped out around post 4172!
I have conferred with the originator of this topic and they feel strongly that the entire topic needs to be read from beginning to end.
This is the way.

Should the Airlens be left powered on all the time? Can’t seem to find any info on this… Kind of a pain to reach around back… And there is no standby function…
I think that you answered your own question.
Yes I leave mine on
I leave mine on as well as my Auralic Aries G1.1, PST and DSD MK II. I guess that the constant environment provides stability for the digital clocks involved in these devices. Besides if one were to “wear out” I am sure by then digital tech will have moved on to something even better.
I am unaware of any specific recommendations from PSA.
That said, mine has been more or less powered on continuously since I purchased it several months ago; and there have been no issues of note.
Thanks for the replies
Mine’s on full time as well…
Hi, right you are. There is no capacity to set the AirLens into standby. It remains cool to touch when it’s waiting for the music to feed through in my system.
I was looking forward to the “silver” remote turning all the PS Audio components on and off like it was with the Bridge II, but not to be…
Put some black tape on it or some object that blocks the blue light.
Pick up some Dim It stickers.
Hello there,
I’m new here … based in the Netherlands, no PS Audio equipment yet, but the Airlens is on its way. I’m going to connect it to my Hegel H390, while using a digital coax RCA cable from tellurium.
I mostly read here that people use their Airlens to connect with a PS Audio DAC and don’t use no coax …
Anyone has experience with a Hegel and coax ? … I’m very interested, as I bought the Airlens blindly …
Regards, Bas
Hello and welcome from a neighbour! Need other folks to comment on the AirLens with digital coax out. But from what I have heard, the Hegel H390’s DAC section is pretty good… as one would expect… and based on the AKM 4493 chip (Asahi Kasei Microdevices). My understanding is that Hegel is not keen on WiFi. Is that why you ordered a streamer? Ethernet in to the H390 is not available for you?
Looks like there are a few H390 “to streamer or not to streamer” discussions on Audiogon. For example: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/streaming-with-the-hegel-h390
Well … I’m still on wifi … still need to pull the cable from my router towards my streamer through the house 
And since the Hegel has no wifi, I bought a streamer (currently the ifi zen stream). The ifi is for sale now … I wanted an upgrade and ordered the Airlens. Not planning to change the DAC, indeed the Hegel should be fine !
