Damon,
thanks for sharing. My current set up is AE to Int-Amp (existing) by Optic cable, same as you explained in first para. All files are stored on NAS, so on Itunes (my preference -> advanced settings -> un-check copy files) add library to Itunes -> Airplay. you are right this is easy and I plan to do this quickly to get over the excitement. However i do have NAS connected to the AE2. Some where in Devialet (Help) site it said this is not a optimum way to do optic, would prefer Digital input, not sure why because Optical is digital and its BW goes beyond 25G. Anyways....
Regarding set up of AE :
you are right, AE2 has only one ethernet, reserved for D120 (
). However the other one (marked O) is for NAS connection.
My AE1 is connected to the main modem supplied by the Internet provider. AE1 and AE2 wifi-each-other to extend internet.
Regarding activation of wifi on the Devialet - the help/sites suggest to re-setup the AE, disconnect internet, rename etc and then connect to internet etc. not sure why they suggested that - i m reading the documentation. little nervous on these things want to do right. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, encouraging enough now.
Else where for USB under Streaming - USB config i copied from Help/site, suggests one could also connect USB of the NAS to the Devialet directly and eliminate the computer in between for USB streaming. and use any app on phone/mac to play the files. not sure which app it is suggesting, AIR + Itunes or third party (sent email to Devialet).
