Wifi & Ethernet - Sound Quality - Arjan - 14-May-2015

As a newbie I have a question.
  • At the moment I'm using Air via Ethernet.
  • For my wife I want to enable wifi for Tidal / Spotify.
If wifi and Ethernet are enabled at the same time is there a negative impact on sound quality for Air Ethernet?

Your input is appreciated!

Arjan

I've switched off Wifi on the Devialet now, because I cannot get a stable enough Wifi connection for AIR, but I've never noticed any negative impact on sound quality. When using the Phono input there is the option of putting Wifi in standby, but that's only for phono. You do know you can safely and easily try out things like this to test by building multiple configs and saving them on your PC or on different 4GB SD cards?

Thanks! I will buy another SD card to experiment with the settings. Devialet is an adventure coming from a Musical Fidelity amp.

Hi Arjan

There's no need to buy another card. The configurator saves all config files you create. Just give them a different name. They can be accessed under the My Configuration tab when you log into your account. You can always re-download them and put them back on the card (just make sure the SD card is not locked). Alternately, you can drag and drop the existing config file from the SD card to your computer and keep it should you wish to restore.  I have 2 saved configurations (one that does not put the amp in standby mode and one that does). I also plan on creating a few more that disable/enable the new DPM feature. 


It might seem scary but it's not. Once you get your configuration file on your SD card, as soon as you insert it into the Devialet, it will upload the new settings. 


Hope this helps.

Ants is all correct! Just provide a different name for each file..
