Thanks K4680 I have downloaded the AZ Connect App also and Glider to test, which I will on Sunday. I have 130Pro and CI upgrade arrived, just away for a day or so, Sunday being the day to test.
Melco DSM in Direct Player Mode is what I am looking for also, so the Melco to directly mount the Devialet via a single Ethernet using the front panel for playback selection, this is their cleanest signal path, but annoying with no App for control point/playback etc.
So for two modes,
1. UPnP via App entire Library with Network connection and Ethernet via Mac Book Pro or WiFi via iPhone/iPad.
2. DSM Direct Mode or Direct Player, no Network connected (so no App/Control Point) but single Ethernet to Devialet with zero Network traffic, thus a cleaner signal.
On a previous N272/250DR system I owned I noticed much lower noise floor in Direct Player Mode, and I did prefer it, just having the front panel though for music selection is not the best unfortunately. I couldn't figure out a way to get a control point into the connection chain in Direct Player Mode, even if the switch was not network connected, theory being a control point via MBP using Kazoo/Kinsky on MAC OSX via a switch and Ethernet into the MBP.
