I used the USB and Coaxial SP/DIF inputs and both had even better speed, definition and tonal balance. Didn't get chance to try AIR or UPnP yet.
Thanks for posting @smokejumper. I will be honest, but when I read the first couple of listening impression posts in this thread which claimed there were sound quality improvements from the AES/EBU or S/PDIF inputs, I was deeply sceptical. Improvements via the OS Board, maybe, but via S/PID or AES/EBU? Not very likely I thought. However, you post is yet another claiming the same thing, it is becoming quite a consistent message now from a few members of the forum. I know there are some theories as to why this might be, I just wish someone could extract some hard facts from Devialet on this issue. (and I mean hard facts, not the kind of techno babble waffle you might get from a Devialet support query)
It is good news nevertheless.
