RE: Devialet connection? - Kunter - 30-Jul-2014
Can you access your Wireless network from where your devialet is? I mean can you connect to internet via your laptop on the top floor?
By the way, Vista will not give you a nice sound so in your case I would strongly recommend either upgrading your system to Windows 8.1 or buying a MacBook.

Yes I can access the wireless network where the Devialet is.

İ would recommend you to get an Apple airport extreme, connect both your laptop and devialet physically to it, and configure it to extend your wireless network.
Or more simply, either with tha Apple or any other router with at least 2 ethernet connections, create an isolated network on your top floor and run everything locally.

I could do that if I had the funds to but I don't so maybe USB or wireless is the way to go?

I guess wireless will be the best bet in this case, if you have sufficient signal from your router at Devialet.
If not, USB.
BUT, Vista is NOT GOOD on sound quality so dont expect too much until you change that variable in the equation...

Wireless works perfectly for me on my iMac using the default settings on the Devialet and setting my wifi box to be on a channel no other wifi in range is using. I used iStumbler to check the local airwaves then selected a channel nobody else was using.
Also, all Android phones need banning and the signal strength needs to be good, mine is -50dB just now.
Can't make any comment about Ethernet or USB since I haven't tried them.

As well as iStumbler, which is free, you can try inSSIDer, which costs little, and IMO gives a nicer pictorial display than iStumbler though much the same information.
In my opinion, the two AIR routes, wifi and ethernet, subject to Frank's proviso, are indistinguishable provided the signal strength is good. The convenience of the wifi route may be outweighed by the frequency of dropouts if signal strength is marginal.
