What I'm saying is that I prefer the sound I get when I use the ethernet input on my Devialet.
There are 2 ways to do that. The usual way is to connect both your source (your laptop) and your Devialet to the same network via ethernet. If your laptop is connected to a router of some kind then you also connect the Devialet to the same router. They simply communicate with each other over the same network.
The second way is what this thread is about and this thread only applies to people using a Roon Nucleus or Nucleus+ server or a NAS drive running the Roon Rock operating system and it's about how they can connect a second ethernet cable from their Nucleus, Nucleus+, or NAS drive directly to the ethernet port of the Devialet. This thread doesn't apply to other people using sources other than those specific sources I listed so it does not apply to you. I don't know if it would work for you.
Before I tried the method in this thread I was using the usual method, connecting my Nucleus+ server and my Devialet to the same network which meant that both were connected to an ethernet switch which was connected to my router which is in another room. If my router were in the same room as my server and the Devialet both of them would have been connected directly to the router. If you want to use an ethernet connection to the Devialet with your laptop as your source then I recommend connecting both of them to a wired ethernet network in the usual way.
