When I first read the news relase detailing all the new features, it said "all digital inputs". Ethernet is digital, isn't it? Now, looking at the photos posted in that Chinese site referenced above, there's one in which MAT is explained and on the right screen it says the same, "all digital inputs" but adds "(USB, toslink)". Therefore, I must assume that DSD will not be supported if your connection is Ethernet, musn't I? So, what's the case?
My case may not be typical because I use AIR-Eth, straight from the computer to the Dev, no routers/hubs/whatever in the middle. It's been working fine so far but yesterday I upgraded to FW8 and tried to play some DSD files and couldn't... I decided to set aside more time to explore whether any of my setting could be wrong, but then I saw this...
Thanks, enjoy!

This is written about it in the annoucnement on devialets website:
"DSD64 (DSD 1x) is now supported on USB and every high speed PCM digital input, through DoP v1.0 (DSD over PCM)"
Ethernet is not a PCM input, so no support. Devialet would have to make changes to the AIR software/driver first, if it is possible at all but I can't see why not.
