Optimisation of Audirvana for best sound quality

This is how my Air 3 beta Ethernet is set up, I have had no problems for over 5 weeks with this set up.

1) Go to the Devialet Configurator, open the Ethernet preferences.
Turn DHCP off
put in a fixed ip address, I use 169.254.200.24
save it and load it to your Dev.



2) Turn your Dev on and select Ethernet

3) On your Mac, open System Preferences, then open Network Preferences, select Ethernet
Change Configure IPv4: to "Using DHCP with manual address"
I use 169.254.200.12
The first 3 numbers are the same as on the Dev, only the last number is different.
Keep System Preferences open.



4) Open Sound Preferences, and select "Devialet Air" as the output 



5) Open Audirvana Plus Preferences, select Audio Tab
Preferred Audio Device        select "Devialet Air"



6) Start Air 3 beta, select "My Devialet-ETH"



All should be working fine.

Good Luck Brian

Voila !!   It works and does sound much cleaner than the USB. 

A BIG thank you for this BrianT. Sincerely appreciated ...
