Hey eualp
Welcome to the forum. I couldn’t find a reason to sell my OdA ? If you want a warmer sounds, you can tweak via the cabling as suggested. If you are like me spending over 90% of my listening to vinyls, you can try different warmer-sounding cartridges. The OdA is perhaps the most transparent system I’ve ever own, I won’t put another equipment between the source and OdA.

Also with cables, including the link cable between master & companion - the differences can be huge, also trying RCA-XLR vs RCA-RCA. In Singapore, I bought a handmade RCA-XLR converter from Coherence Audio at Adelphi (the shop with the MBLs). I just to test what the difference would be by using my existing RCA-RCA cable. It worked well, and I've stuck to using it ever since. Got a more 3D soundstage and more natural sounding highs. Hi hardcore, yes I do digital mainly via Tidal. Sorry for my ignorance, what is a re-clocker DDC, any example? Interesting on the RCA-XLR for the master & companion. Will KIV that recommendation.

The Mutec MC3 +USB is a re-clocker. I also think the dCS Network Bridge does re-clocking. Both of these will give improved sound from your amplifier, however, all Devialet CI amps have a re-clocker built in so the improvement will not be as dramatic as some of the reviews of those devices indicate. But it is certainly an improvement.
Mutec also has a word clock generator, the Ref10. To go "all out" a Ref10 or a Ref10-120 will help, but since the O d'A does not have a word clock input one would not get full benefit from the Ref10. Still, there are several users of both Mutec and dCS here on the forum. Some also use word clocks like Ref10.

DDC is generally a USB-to-AES/SPDIF converter, but the good ones have very good clocks inside and the Devialet (and almost all DACs) are affected by the clock and cleanliness of the input. You will also need some sort of PC or streaming device like a NUC running the music player, or a Roon device.
Since you're in Singapore there is the newly announced Denafrips Gaia which is hotly anticipated but I haven't seen any real reviews yet. There are also good Chinese made ones like the Singxer SU-6 (I use one) and the Audio-Gd DI20.
Alternatively, there are high end streamers with good clocks inside like the dCS Network Bridge, which would output AES/SPDIF to the Devialet.
If you're interested, it's best to try it in your system to see if it is better or worse. The built in CI streamer in the Devialet is already really good and an external streamer might not sound better.

Ok, after some time of testing the Oda, I'm ready to make the change to user63! I needed to be sure before making the commitment. Not sure how to change it though?
