Hi Arjayh, that’s a nasty issue you have with your Devialet. You’ve tried almost anything that I also thought of but I think it’s a good idea to check if the ethernet connection is indeed ‘flapping’ so going up and down. Thumb5 mentioned it too. Most switches have two LED’s per port, one that indicates if the link is up and at which speed and the other one blinks if there’s traffic.
If the links goes up and down this could indicate a hardware or cable issue and since you swapped ethernet cables and switches it could indeed be the Devialet. You could check if all pins of the ethernet port are straight and give them a clean with some rubbing alcohol.
You’ve also tried and disabled WiFi with ethernet active so that’s a good thing so no potential ‘loops’ can exist.
Another issue that’s rare is that there’s two devices on your network using the same IP address which you in effect ruled out by giving the Devialet a fixed IP address. Even rarer is two devices on the network using the same MAC address so this probably isn’t worth checking up on though you could try to (temporarily) disconnect all devices on your network not needed for streaming.
Good luck in resolving the issue!
