Yes I was connecting via digital coaxial. Just wanted to try alternative of ethernet as I read here and elsewhere that it could b superior.
On the other hand, playing even low rez files via iPhone sounds really nice with the 2nd ethernet cable (which I assume is being fed to devialet from router via the ethernet). Very good bass and smooth.
Will devialet b UPnP in the future? Seems a pity it isn't?
There's definitely no agreement that Ethernet is best in fact many of he most outspoken people on the Naim forum use Mac Mini linked to a USB DAC using local storage.
Devialet are rumoured to be working on UPnP support and there has been speculation that it will be available by he end of this year.
I use AIR wifi nearly 100% of the time now and it works perfectly for me. I'm not really interested in UPnP support - been there done that with Naim. It works well but I don't want multiple Ethernet cables/switches/NAS in my music system. My next move is more likely to be to USB or Aes/xbu and no NAS.
