Help < Roon setup with AIR 3 beta Ethernet >

[marcor]

In the meantime, here are my other settings. This is with RoonServer on the Mac Mini.

PLEASE NOTE - do not Enabled "Set Max Device Volume at Playback start". You will find it increases the Devialet volume when you move to a new track. Which is NOT what you want. You will not enjoy this setting being enabled.

On to the screenshots.

Includes Roon, AIR3 Settings, Mac Network Settings, and Devialet settings.

Note this is for a setup where the Mac Mini and the Devialet each have a ethernet connection to my switch.

Setup for network would be slightly different if you are using an ethernet connection from the Mac to the Devialet. So please let me know whether your Mac and Devialet each have their own ethernet connection or whether you are connecting the Mac to the Devialet directly.

Sorry if I am asking the obvious here but I was told that Roon wasn't working in Exclusive mode through AIR (either wifi either ethernet). Is this a new feature of AIR3? 
From what I see from the AIR3 beta release notes Devialet removed "bit Perfect" option from AIR, if I read this correctly it means that in iTunes every time I listen a song with higher Sampling Rate than a CD I will need to change the sampling in the MIDI settings. This being true and this change being maintained in the final release it will mean I need to find an alternative to iTunes. Roon would look like the most likely one but I was told that not being able to use Exclusive mode was seriously hampering the quality.


Thanks for the help
