Strictly speaking Devialet are not upgrading the optical input but not downgrading it as they normally have to do when going D-Premier > 250! I am extremely grateful nonetheless. I can use my Astell & Kern 240 to stream any type of file they way.
Hi Antoine,
Before upgrading your PC components you should check The Paul Pang website.

Every Paul Pang component I installed had a very big effect on the overall sound of my system. The combined effect is astounding.
The "source first" principle is easely demonstrated with an audio pc, so much to improve in this area.
USB sounds better than ethernet or wifi in my setup.
