Thanks guys for answering!! 
As I myself am in the planning/"design" phase I find it very useful to know your findings and it might help others as well of course.
I myself am most likely to follow the path that Kunter and Beerman took: ethernet and a dedicated machine. Great to see that the Windows server option with Audiophile Optimizer (http://www.highend-audiopc.com) works (I was still wondering if it did since I thought you still need to run the AIR software and so haven't bought any new hardware yet).
@Kunter, do you run the playback machine in core mode or do you need the GUI mode for running AIR and JPlay? And do you have the DualPC setup? (so using an additional control PC/Mac besides the playback machine directly connected to the Devialet)
@beerman, I can't myself edit the poll but the option you mention (direct ethernet) I think is the option "AIR ethernet" I mentioned in the poll or did I miss an additional way to use the ethernet port without the AIR software installed on a PC or Mac?
