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

How do I connect my Bricasti M21 DAC to my MAC Computer using its Ethernet connection?   I want to run QoBuz on my MAC Computer and send the QoBuz output to the Bricasti M21 DAC using the Ethernet connection.  I will set the M21 using the IN5 LAN and Network setting.   This means the M21 connects to my network.  

Can I use the Qobuz interface and/or do I need some other software running on my MAC for this to happen?  This is a temporary setup so a large expense for any needed software is not required.  

If I need a software package on my MAC, what software package do you recommend?      

Your advice is requested.  Thanks.

Well done!

This stuff can drive you crazy.

I don’t own a Bricasti but am thinking about the M3. AFAIK you can use the Linn Kazoo and Lumin apps on your iPad with your Bricasti. Both offer an elegant UI with Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify and TuneIn radio, etc. I currently use Linn as my digital front end. I also use Roon and tested the Lumin app. All work...

There is a piece of software called Konfig that you might need on your Mac? This is a just a settings/preferences/handshake pane. You can then add the Kazoo app to your iPad. 
I have not tried this as I don’t own a Bricasti. A dealer did say you can do this though. 
The Linn App, Linn Kazoo app and the Lumin app are full apps with features. They are free. Roon should work for you as well but that costs money.
