AIR 3 Beta for Mac

[baddog]

       

Hello. I am sure you are on your way to success but to summarize:

You do not need a cross over cable, normal network cable will work.

On the Configurator side you do want to enable the ethernet port on the Devialet, and as you mentioned, under Ethernet settings ->Advanced Settings:

DHCP - OFF

Fixed IP address ( this is an example ) 192.168.0.77
Network Mask - 255.255.255.0

Click OK.

Download the settings to your SD card.

Put SD card into Devialet and re start.

Ensure Ethernet input is selected on the Devialet

On your Mac choose System Preferences from under the Apple menu ( Apple icon top left on your screen )

Select Network.

Then select Ethernet ( it probably indicates it is connected and has a small green circle )

If you have not done so choose Configure IPv4 - and set to "Manually"

IP Address - set to 192.168.0.78    ( note this is exactly the same as you set for the Devialet except the last number (.78)

Subnet Mask - set to 255.255.255.0  ( note this is exactly the same as you set for the Devialet )

Router - doesn't really matter - put 192.168.0.1

If you already have this setup properly then under Status: it should be as follow:

Status: Connected

Ethernet is currently active and has the IP address 192.168.0.78  ( or however you configured it on your Mac )

If you are doing this again then click the APPLY button.

Now you are all set on both the Devialet and the Mac side.


On to the Devialet AIR icon (teardrop - top right of screen)

Clicking on it should show the following:

Disable Devialet AIR
My Devialet-ETH
Settings
About 
Quit

Select My Devialet-ETH

Choose Settings

If you click General Settings in the left pane you will see the following in the right pane:

Launch Devialet AIR at startup - I have mine set to ON

Unlock Advanced Settings

Click the little lock and you should be able to change the "Target Device Buffer"- mine is set to "500 ms" others use higher or lower settings.

That is all you can go in General Settings

Now go back to the Left Pane and click My Devialet-ETH

When you do so in the right pane you should see the following:

Round dial with the volume level of your Devialet and the input selected (ethernet)

It should also show the following:

Ethernet connection: 10/100

IP Address - this should match the one you specified in the configurator -  from my example above it would be 192.168.0.77

Mac Address: ( don't be concerned with what you see here as it is not related to your Mac Mini settings/nor anything else you need based on your setup)

When the device appears on the network: I have mine setup to "always stream to it automatically"

And that is all you need to do for configuration of Devialet AIR

Now, I have not used Audirvana in a while, but you will want to ensure that AIR is the output device ( other folks correct me if I am wrong )

As a verification step - you could go into the following folder on your Mac:

Applications -> Utilities

Choose the Audio Midi Setup application, and launch it.

Verify you see "Devialet AIR"

Lastly you can go into System Preferences under the Apple Menu and select Sound

Verify Devialet AIR is selected as your Output device.

That's all I got from this end. I attached some screenshots too.
