My tap has not arrived yet so I'm 'network blind'. The tap is needed because even when you use a SPAN port on a Cisco switch, you'll always miss some traffic.
What I find strange is that people are willing to pay serious money for an audio USB-cable, while Devialet is 'polluting' their network with a permanent stream of broadcasts. I had to reconfigure the switch to allow this number of broadcasts from one host. The switch interpreted the amplifier/DAC as the source of a denial of service attack.
It looks like Devialet wants to avoid the complexity of having to enter the amplifier/DAC IP-address but the way they solved this is hardly elegant.
To be clear : we bought the Devialet for the sound quality and not for the way they use TCP/IP.
