All my music is on a Synology NAS. It works perfectly, everything is connected by Ethernet but having read some of the posts here am I right in thinking that I can bypass the Aries and stream directly to the D200?
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.
First, make sure Devialet AIR driver is installed on your NUC. You can download the driver from en.devialet.com/configurator, after you have logged on.
Once AIR driver installed on your NUC, your Roon will show Devialet AIR as one of the audio output. For best SQ, enable Exclusive and Event driven mode. Set DSD to DSD over PCM.
As for the Devialet AIR setting on your Windows, click on the 'eyedrop' logo and click setting. If you are using AIR-Ethernet, click on it and on the right you can select the method to connect to AIR: 1) Never stream automatically to it; 2) stream to it if not already streaming; and 3) always stream to it automatically. To make the selection permanent, after selected, exit Devialet AIR, and restart AIR (this is a known AIR setting bug).
Many thanks for that, I will try those settings later. Your help is much appreciated.
