This test result is interesting but (for me) raises more questions than it answers. First of all, it would be helpful to know whether @audio_engr's Devialet actually has a Gigabit Ethernet connection in both configurations - I would guess so from first principles, but perhaps not.
Is there a reliable way to find the link speed of the Devialet's network interface? I don't know off the top of my head whether it's visible from the Dev's info display; maybe it's possible to ssh into the Nucleus and find out with ethtool?
If the Dev does have a Gigabit link in both cases, that means the overall behaviour depends on something other than the link speed of the connection to the Devialet, which might explain why Devialet are not able to reproduce the problem.
Either way, although this test result provides an extra data point I'm not clear that it helps to diagnose the root cause of the problem.
Another configuration that might be interesting to try is:
Nucleus - USB/Ethernet - Gigabit switch - Devialet
