Yes. Get everything off the card but the cfg.txt file. Here's a link to a 'how to'

Is there something I need to be doing with the router? Do I need to give the devialet a fixed IP? Is Devialet support/ customer care helpful? Really a bit lost. In the interim,have usb and airplay options working so I managed to hear some hi-res songs last night thru USB - but I definitely do want AIR as my primary transport layer. Any advice? Sad
Would Roon be much easier to manage the AIR transport layer? The Devialet would still probably need to be connected through ethernet to my router for a stable Roon AIR connection (should I choose to buy Roon - correct?)

DHCP usually works but some have better luck with a fixed IP address. Roon has come up with their own version of AIR. It just works. There's nothing more to say about it. If you go the Roon way, all you will end up doing is listen to music. The tinkering will be a thing of the past.

You can either use a router in between with Roon or go direct but that's a bit more complicated. Stick with the router for now.

Awesome writeup that Pim! That should be pinned; bookmarked it - will take a look once I get home today. Immediate focus is to try and get AIR to work through ethernet. 

Tinkering for later: 
  • Whether Roon is a good option for Music mgmt/ player
  • Figuring out music upsampling and impact on SQ
  • Whether to use a Music Server/ streamer solution instead of storing music on my mac/ external hdd and best transport path to the devialet
  • Power cable/ conditioning
  • Other cables
