In case anyone is still interested, get a DDC that can decode MQA to connect between PC and Devialet. I am using a Gustard U18, it decodes the MQA layer and send to DAC, not perfect decode of MQA, which is not possible without a MQA DAC (which Devialet is not), but it still decodes most of the MQA and sound quality is good.
It is funny the Gustard U18 is never advertised as MQA compatible, it just happens to be MQA compatible because the chipset it uses decode MQA. It won't advertise itself as MQA compatible because it will have to pay patent fee otherwise, chinese stuff ...... it is dirt cheap anyway compared to the Devialet.
