Dear baddog and Pim,
I have been busy with work and just got to play with this stuff again tonight-
I followed the instructions and now IT WORKS! Thanks SO MUCH!!
It is the direct Mac-Ehternet_Devialet that made it different, but easy when you know how.
Thanks ever so much again.
Manythanks

Kind regards,

A direct connection between a Mac Mini and Devialet is absolutely possible, in fact that is what I believe David is using. I have used it myself.
Now my setup is different and all devices are connected via ethernet to a switch or router.
When I used a USB connection to my Devialet a long time back, I had no issue playing back DSD files.
I have found the ethernet connection superior and more convenient than using a USB connection, YMMV.
If you need assistance setting up a direct Mac Mini to Devialet connection let us know.

OK, direct connection is possible. BUT you will have no opportunity to bring them into your home net by cable then, cause there is no second ethernet port in both units. Right?
Ethernet superior than a short and valuable USB cable although a router and a lot of simple cable is between the units then?
WiFi is no alternative following Devialet´s slogan: the best cable is no cable?!
So you would go with ethernet connection without worrying about router, switch and simple cable and plugs?
I will give Roon a try from on september after vacation. Will have some more questions then I guess...

Thank you Gentlemen for discussing the "new" Roon Air feature as built in Roon version 242.
I'd been away for sometime now and my last settings were with an older build of Roon and Devialet Air 3.0.4 that also worked well. I use a Macbook Air 11 dedicated as a PC source for music with a 4TB ext drive (Thunderbolt) for my setup with D400.
Last evening, I installed the new Roon build and also uninstalled the Devialet Air 3.0.4 on my MacBook Air.
Today, i would be trying the system as Macbook --> Devialet ETH and hope I don't end up scratching my head .. but all goes well ..

Thank you!
Maybe someone else knows?!
But output (Mac) and input(Dev) are the same in this setup. So I would wonder if it shouldn´t work.
