Some interesting posts, but isn't this a little off the topic of the thread, that is, something like the Totaldac can run through SPDIF or XLR hence bypassing whatever AIR might be doing. So the D1 might very well be doing much the same as AIR but possibly doing it fractionally better. Hence the reports of it sounding better. In costs a fair percentage of an entire Devialet integrated, so there is reason to think it might be able perform slightly better in some aspects, say clocking accuracy?
For me, I'd like to hear one, that's the only way I could form a firm view.
