Ethernet vs. USB

[Music or sound]

I'm surprised again! This again clearly show it's hard to predict if/how the link to the Devialet will work without the +5V active due to differences in internal USB cable wiring, computer mainboards/USB chip(sets)/USB interface cards etc.

I did the same test as Music or sound and with a standard freebie USB cable music playback stopped at the moment I cut either the USB ground wire or the shield wire, one of both had to be connected at all times in my setup.

In think the difference is on the computer side and not a requirement of the Devialet input.
