Roon supports Devialet AIR

[Kwan]

Waiting for this new solution... has anybody tested the influence of replacing the SPSU of the WiFi router used to stream to the Devialet by a good quality LPSU ?

I made two tests: 

• one with a standard HDPlex powering my MacMini and the WiFi router used to stream to the Devialet: in this configuration, I noticed a clear improvement of the reliability of the streaming to the Devialet. The transparency was on par with if not superior to the SOtM sMS-200 + Mutec MC-3+ USB I also have installed 
  
• then with a recently received Paul Hynes SR7 LPSU: in this configuration, not only does the reliability of streaming through AIR 3.0.4 remain very good, but the noise floor decreases significantly, at the same time than the transparency and the level of audible details increases drastically. In this configuration, streaming with Roon/AIR is significantly better on my system than sMS-200 + Mutec.
  

I expect these observations to remain unchanged with new to be announced direct interface.

These observations will probably help me avoid the temptation of upgrading my sMS-200 to the sMS-200 Ultra, as well as buying a Ref10 from Mutec. Nice savings.

 
I also have sotm sMS-200 + Mutec MC-3+ USB, NUC Roon server with LPS, dedicated switch, then through FMC connect to sms-200, sms-200 & the fiber box close to sms-200 are powered by Uptone JS-2 LPS.

Streaming through Devialet Air and the FMC is very listenable, tonal is slightly warmer, relax and imaging is slightly bigger, feels like it's more tolerate. but little hardness in some treble area. While SOtM sMS-200 + Mutec MC-3+ USB is little more 3D and in focus, and without the occasional treble hardness.

So I prefer SOtM sMS-200 + Mutec MC-3+ USB on my system, while I can imagine Devialet Air is preferred by others on different system.
