The only thing that confuses me is that in the Roon audio device it shows Devialet air wasapi but I can only get it to play via Ethernet. If I try to click on the air black dot icon it just vanishes and I have no means of checking the settings. The sound is excellent and I suppose I shouldn't meddle but Like many here, I am always trying to see if I can improve things. Is there any difference between Ethernet Air and wireless Air?
Well you may or may not get lots of opinions on whether AIR is better wireless vs ethernet for sound quality, as well as which method is more reliable.
I am happily using ethernet and have not compared to wireless. From a reliability standpoint I feel better off using ethernet. From a sound quality perspective I am very happy with ethernet.
I am sure you have checked, but do you have wireless enable in the Configurator as well? And wireless enabled on your PC? And that they are on the same wireless network?
Hi, yes, all enabled but no matter, I think I should just be thankful it is all working perfectly, perhaps I am shooting for the moon!
So bearing in mind I am using this on a Mac, the only other settings to double check in Configurator are that the WIFI settings have correct SSID, correct password, and that in the Advanced Settings for WIFI that the settings their match the Advanced Settings for ethernet ( DHCP, Fixed IP, network Mask )
And ensure that ADHOC mode in Wireless Advanced settings is OFF.
You probably have already done that. If you wanted to love life on the EDGE, you could try disabling the ethernet input on the Devialet and only having the WIFI input enabled, personally I don't think that would make a difference.
