Hi Confused,
if you use jRiver for uPnP there are some possible traps in the setup. If you add the Generic DLNA jRiver converts everything to MP3 by default. So either use the Audiophile 24 bit option or change the conversion in the DLNA settings to PCM 24. But even then Audirvana sounds better and is easier to configure.
Using the Devialet CI board has the big advantage that all processing is done in the Devialet. You can hear that if you simply switch off the PC, the music simply continues. And for me the difference is so big (in comparison to Roon/Air) that I don't think there is any better external solution.
If you try Audirvana: it only recognizes the Devialet as uPnP device if it is connected to the first Ethernet adapter. Also changing the volume is not perfectly working. But both is fixed in the current beta already.
