Note

Many Home routers still uses 10/100 Mbps network connection, which is usually sufficient for standard internet connections.
But RAVENNA Network requires 1 Gb network, to guarantee full quality and reliability of the audio streams.
In that case using an additional network switch ensures there will be no bandwidth bottleneck.  


  1. Get your Ethernet cable that was shipped along with your MERGING+NADAC 
    Note: Merging certification is done with CAT5E or CAT6 cable at minimum. You can use your own Ethernet cable if they match at least our minimum recommendations
     
  2. Connect your Ethernet cable to the back Ethernet connector of your MERGING+NADAC 
     
  3. Connect the other end of your Ethernet cable directly to your Network Gigabit router of Network Gigabit switch 
     
  4. Connect your PC/MAC Ethernet interface to your Network Gigabit router of Network Gigabit switch
     
  5. Power on the NADAC and launch your NADAC Driver Panel in order to establish the connection
    Note: If you change networking configurations we require that you restart the NADAC and close and relaunch the NADAC Driver Panel

NADAC on your home Network

If your home Router is not Gigabit, or if it does not have enough port, you will have to add a Gigabit switch. 
Note : This restriction is only applicable to MERGING+NADAC, MERGING+PLAYER can be used with a 100Mbps or Gigabit router.

To be able to control your MERGING+NADAC with the NADAC App, a WIFI connection between the NADAC and control device is required.
Nowadays router are usually equipped with WIFI capability.   If that is not the case, you have to add a Wireless Access Point on your home router, or a network switch with WIFI capability.

See our Remote Control section here.

Warning: If you do not manage to have remote control make sure that the NADAC and Router/Access point are connected to the same switch as your NADAC.
The NADAC has to be on a switch that has the network/internet connect directly to it for the NADAC App to work form the iPad. Without the NADAC on the internet network the Roon and Tidal might still work from the iPad (as they have a built-in bridge) but the NADAC App will not work. If you see the remote control working from the Mac or PC Web Access imake sure you follow our recommendations here.

Once the MERGING+NADAC is plugged and the Windows (ASIO / Merging Audio Device) or Mac (Core Audio) driver is installed, please see the Media Players configuration page.
