I tried AIR and it said 48kHz, so it worked.
I also asked Devialet. First it took them a week to conclude it cannot be impedance problem and it is likely that the cable is physically broken. So I got a bunch of other cables and tested everything to the same effect (all cables were 3m long). So they changed their mind and now say "we are facing an impedance problem : source is 75R, receiver is 110R, unless using a conversion transformer, impedances won't match and will prevent from proper operation at higher frequencies." I think its fair to say that Devialet doesn't expect RCA to XLR to work even though they advertise it as a viable option.
