Switch off upsampling, sounds better to send native data to the dev. Also the actice audio device should also read dev!

Change audio volume to "DAC Only". I see that Audirvana doesn't recognize the Devialet as capable of 24/192 & DSD64. If you have any of that content it's going to downsample it I do believe.

I have no problems playing native DSD64 files. This is how I have Audirvana set up. I am using ver 2.5.1.4
going to Air 3 beta, Ethernet to Devialet.

Hi Brian :

Appreciate indeed for the thumbnails. My ver is 2.5.3 ... And I haven't yet managed to get AIR beta 3 working on my mac & D400 ...

Hence am still on USB and lemme try the settings you've suggested and see any improvements ...

Once again .. Thanks a ton !!

I see your changes helped Audirvana see the Devialet for it's full sample rate offering. Nice!
