Devialet Chat

I have been streaming directly from my Roon server to the Expert Pro for a long time.  it seems to work well and I’m happy with the results.

I’ve gone down the rabbit hole on the web with building a Pi based streamer.  Gabster and others on YouTube talk about building a streamer (and DAC) and have designs and build kits.  This really appeals to the geek in me but I’m wondering what the results were for people that added a streamer to the mix?

If you use your system with a streamer can you tell me why you went that direction rather than streaming direct?  What changes or improvements did you get?

Hello

In my experience with a devialet 250 pro ci, a substantial improvement is possible with a DDC reclocking and feeding the Devialet with AES.

I've tried and ordered a Holo Audio RED to go into the AES/EBU input and it definitely improves on the USB connection I've used for years. Ethernet doesn't even play in the same league.

The Holo Audio Red is great! As @Pim mentioned via AES/EBU perfect match also for Devialet.
You can even run it in HQPlayer NAA mode with upsampling to 192/24 PCM to further improve things.

The problem is getting one. I ordered mine in August if I remember correctly. Still waiting.

Did you talk with magnahifi?

I ordered Red today from Magna. They had those in stock.
