If this is the case could somebody possibly give some tips to get it going. When I check audio zones I can see the Aries which I use, but in the box above it mentions core output "wasapi" but I can't see any mention of Devialet. What am I missing here. Many thanks.
Hello Misterpete.
In theory, yes you could, but you would have to use either a USB cable from your NUC to the D200, or the dreaded Devialet AIR.
For the pros and cons of either one, have a look at the respective threads in this forum. Many folk, including myself, could never get AIR to be reliable, and most folk feel that USB directly from a PC into the Dev lacks some SQ.
Hope that helps a little
Ah yes, thanks for that. I thought perhaps I could use the Ethernet option. I have set up Air on the NUC and it initially sees the Ethernet but it is always set to streaming disabled. If somehow I did manage to get Air working what would show up in the Roon audio zone?
