I am using 220pro ci pairing with a turntable, an external streamer and a cd player. My suggestion for streaming music is to use an inexpensive streamer like Wiim, Eversolo, etc. It's the time to break the myth : you still need a very very large sum of money playing digital. No, not the case in year 2025. The inexpensive streamers are still good enough to make great music, and the streaming experience is quite good, solid connection. I have been using AIR for streaming music from my desktop PC to my Devialet BUT there were always too many sudden interruption during playback. Now, no computer and so no ROON (I tried but still found ROON too complicated for me). Besides, use a better PC or say try other PCs to feed the Devialet. It really makes a big difference.

In my experience with a 250pro, a reclocker usb to aes elevates playback a lot, i mean a lot. I have denafrips gaia, but i guess even the entry-level reclocker would be great.

If using a network environment the biggest game changer was the Network Acoustics ENO2 filter. Absolute outstanding performance improvement - in every setup I tested it.

I haven’t changed anything in my setup for a good few years now. I put an Etalon Eternet Isolator into my LAN network, not sure, but over ten years ago. I noticed an immediate improvement; or did I?
After living with my system unchanged for so many years, I feel that I know it’s sound very well. I suppose I should take the Etalon out of the circuit and hear what my ears tell me? I’m not sure whether the technology of the NA ENO2 and the Etalon are the same, I can remember reading an article on how the Etalon works and it seems to totally separate the incoming signal by jumping a gap and leaving all the nasties behind, IIRC. I’ll whip it out and see. Oppo BDP-105 - Roon lifetime - Dutch & Dutch 8c

Network Acoustics is the pioneer in audiophile filters and has established to be the industry leaders in that segment with their products. Even in the most high end setups their filters still schiebe significantly Sound quality improvements. So definitely give them a try, they even have a 60 day money back guarantee.
