How do I connect my Bricasti M21 DAC to my MAC Computer using the Network (Ethernet)

@indranilsen, Thank your for that great information.  

Audirvana looks good.  I install it on my MAC Computer and set the Bricasti M21 DAC for IN5.   Is there a setting in Audirvana that outputs Qobuz to the M21?   Any other settings I need to know about?  

Can I use my iPad to connect to Audirvana on my MAC to select albums to play?   Thanks.....

@hgeifman- Yes you would be able to use any iPad to play your music through M21. You need to install Audirvana Remote on the iPad which will simply turn the iPad into an Audirvana remote.
In the Audirvana settings you will see a streaming section. When you open that you will see different streaming options like Qobuz, Tidal, etc. Select Qobuz and connect it with your user id and pwd. That will complete the Qobuz set up process (most likely) and you would be able to stream through Audirvana and play through M21.

Thanks.

 

@indranilsen, Perfect.  Thank you very much. 

I installed Audiovarana on my MAC Computer and set my Bricasti M21 DAC to IN5 meaning LAN connection.   This connection works since the lights are flashing.  My MAC Computer and the Bricasti M21 DAC are BOTH wired to my router and I have connectivity.      

I am UNABLE to get Audiovarana to recognize my Bricasti M21 DAC.  I re-booted the router and modem and turned off my MAC Computer.  I also turned off and restarted the Bricasti.    I talked Bricasti Customer Support and he said I am doing everything right.

Audiovarana should automatically recognize my Bricasti M21 DAC BUT it is not.  I must be missing a setting somewhere.  

What am I doing wrong?   Help.   Thanks.  

@hgeifman- Do you have a window or a router software installed on the Mac that shows all lan connections wired or wireless connected to your router? I use Netgear router and they have a software called Genie which shows me all lan connections, connected to my Netgear router. If you have something like that then the 1st step would be to verify whether Bricasti is listed there and has an IP address. You have to make sure that Bricasti M21 is available on your network and the above diagnostic steps will help verify that part. If you see M21 in the network list then first get the IP address. The next step would be to ping it by issuing a  command like ping IP Address. If it is ping-able then Audirvana will surely detect it....
Thanks.
