Good question. My computer is in another room but I do have a 5 metre USB cable running under the house to connect with the Devialet. The trouble with that is that J River MC 19 will stop after 30 minutes to as much as 2 hours later. If I am running the convolver with the Acourate room correction filter it will stop even more often. I'll be trying JRiver with the already filtered music files stored on my NAS via USB soon. I'm so paranoid at the moment that I won't even try ethernet direct to the Devialet unless I connect older speakers.
I also suspect that ethernet sounds a little better, but I'll get a couple of friends in for a single blind trial to check my impression.
