Very interesting White Paper there, Antoine.
It leaves me slightly puzzled about the fact that the PCM1792 chip is meant to have native DSD capability.
From what I'm reading, the DAC chip would only be able to keep the DSD bitstream pure if there was absolutely NO processing applied to it beforehand (including volume adjustment).
I'm unclear as to whether Devialet still manipulate the bitstream with their "MAT" transform even if the USB input was in passthrough mode.
