Dear all, I've read a few posts that seem to indicate it is possible to connect a Mac Mini (operating as a music server) directly to a Devialet Expert via ethernet cable, ie instead of connecting them both to a router. I've not been able to get this right and wonder if someone can explain how to do this - if it's possible?
My mini connects wirelessly to my home network (set up by an Apple Airport Extreme), as does the Dev (but very weakly). Wireless connection between the mini and Dev proved very poor, so I've been using a USB connection. However, I'd like to take advantage of Bitperfect.
Connecting the Dev to the Extreme worked fine - but they are several rooms apart, so cabling is going to be a nightmare.
The mini sits right next to the Dev, so connecting the two via an Ethernet cable without going via the Extreme would be ideal.
The Dev has a fixed IP address (192.168.0.4).
If anyone could help I would be hugely appreciative!
Thanks.
