I'm running Roon 1.2 on a (home built) HTPC on Linux. HTPC motherboard has an optical output and an 'audio optimized' USB output (whatever that means).
So far I have been running the optical output. Sounds stunning to me, but is limited to about 88 kHz formats.
I found that the Devialet USB connetion is found and works through Roon up to DSD64. Jriver seems not to be able to play over USB (but does over optical)
Planning to compare optical and USB connections and also direct CD player, maybe also Win10/Air2.1.3.
For me Air stopped having frequent drop-outs by migrating from Win7 to Win10 by the way.
If anyone is interested I can report on my findings...
System: HTPC@Roon/Jriver, Devialet 120, Sonics Allegra
