@Jnan_devi, sure, the uR can be connected directly to the Devialet USB input. However the Mutec is there to improve the sound quality. It has galvanic isolation of the USB input (the Devialet doesn't), converts the USB stream to AES/EBU (which probably is the best input into the Devialet) and does re-clocking using high quality clocks. This is the short answer, the longer answer/my views on this matter can be found here: http://devialetchat.com/showthread.php?t...5#pid44725
I was browsing the thread on CA and is it true that it can only reclock PCM? I assume that reclocking still works with DOP?
Will it run off USB power like the Hydra-Z? I have a SOTM USB card on Batteries so in my case USB power is a rather clean power option.
