A very good, low cost/high performance solution especially for I2S/SPDIF/BNC/AES digital outputs(It is not preferred for USB)
Mercury AES output would be a better/ideal match for Devialet. If you are an advanced user and have some basic scripting experience, go with Gentooplayer by using customized RealTime kernels instead of VolumIO. But if you are not an advanced user, you'll find VolumIO much easier to use.
