What Petrik states is a solid advice and a good way to compare the BlueSound with what the DAC in the Devialet is capable of.

Next to that: source does matter and so does the cable you use. I use AudioQuest Diamond Digital cable and heard a stepup in SQ every time I switched cable in their Line up. I dare not listen to the next step up, as all money invested in these cables seem to matter.

You may be right. But I never was much interested into cables. My ears are not that good. The price of the Diamond (€899) gets out of balance with the price of the Bluesound (€ 549). Then I would also like to check what music a higher level streamer like the Aurilac Aries LE (€1099) is making.

And right you are. I was just stating the differences are well audible. I always go by "source first". Cables and power are both something to think about when you want the final touches. And I agree: somewhere the balance between what you get for your Buck changes dramatically. Point was, that "all" you invest pays you back in SQ. For each to decide how far he/she goes and how much to invest in this hobby.
