On and off I have tried to connect my D250 to my MacPro's second ethernet input usinf fixed IP setting. Unfortunately it did never play music, even though
AIR recognized Devialet ETH,
and my network showed a functioning (green) Ethernet 2
I set D250 and my Mac on different IP# and the same Mask. But there was no music.
I was not quite sure what to enter as the router on my Mac.
Do any of you use such a setting? Thanks.

Here's what's working for me, direct Ethernet-to-Ethernet, from my iMac to Devialet:
I configured the Devialet Ethernet interface in configurator like this:
DHCP OFF
IP: 10.0.2.99
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
I configured the Ethernet interface on my iMac like this:
Configure IPv4: Manually
IP: 10.0.2.100
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 10.0.2.99 (the Devialet's static IP)
Important: In the Network pane of the System Preferences on my iMac, I had to be sure to set the service order so that WiFi was on top, otherwise the iMac tried to get to the internet through the Devialet (no way!). Since my iMac relies on WiFi for that, I had to make sure WiFi was on the top of the list, so that the iMac tried that interface first. If your MacPro has two ethernet interfaces, make sure the one that you use for Internet is the top of the list! (you can reorder by clicking the sprocket icon at the bottom).
Minor note: My main home WiFi network is on the 10.0.1.x IP range, so I created a separate subnet for the iMac-Devialet (10.0.2.x). I still have the Devialet-WIFI interface connected to the WiFi network so that I can use the Devialet control app from my phone/tablet.

Danke Flohmann!
That did the trick. I also created a second subnet and that was it!
