How many D400 owners use the AES/EBU input of the master to send hi-res files to the D400?
If you do not use it, which digital input of the master have you found to result in the best sound, and with what method of sending the hi-res files to the master?
D400; Stereolab Tombo Tron coaxial for master -> slave; Kubala-Sosna Elation interconnects, power, and speaker cables; Spendor D7 speakers; Bryston BDP-2 w. latest sound card & upgraded fuses; Bybee Stealth Power Purifier conditioner connected with IsoTek EVO3 Syncro SE to wall socket

I don't use the AES/EBU input on my master.
I use optical, coaxial and usb . The latter is the best for me

I use the AES/EBU input on the master for my CD player but not hi res.
For hi res I use USB direct from my Wyred4Sound Music Server.

I feed D's AES/EBU input from my Mac's firewire outputs. PureMusic (sitting on iTunes) > Dirac Audio Processor (DRC) > Firewire > Weiss INT203 > AES/EBU > D
Native sampling frequency switching is performed by PureMusic (DSP disabled).
Besides I also use a dedicated IP ethernet connection.

My PS Audio PWT is connected to the AES/EBU input and my Auraliti PK90 is connected to the USB input.
