If you had the chance to do it all over again...

If I bought anything other than my Devialet it would be DSP active speakers but they tend to be more suitable for file based music systems which I don't like.
I rather fancied this:-

for films and music.

Hello, I'm thinking of changing my Harbeth speakers for Genelec 8351's for more dynamic sound and possible subwoofer and easy room optimization.
I would like to feed the Genelecs with all my sources, LP, analog, Roon and other digital sources.
The digital output of my Devialet 200, pre-amp output, could be (full-range ) via XLR AES\EBU to the Genelec.
So I would reuse the pre-amp side of the Devialet.

Do you think that setup is feasible ?
Do you think the volume could still be controlled by the beautiful Devialet control ?

Thanks,
Jacques     

Looking at the Configurator it says that the AES/EBU is a balanced digital input. There is an option to enable sub/preout but I think this is only available via RCA. If this is the case then it may be possible to buy a converter/adapter for RCA/XLR and a dealer should be able to advise.
The Genlecs have Ethernet connections so it may be possible to link to the Devialet via your LAN and the connection  controlled by Genlecs GLM software but again, a dealer should be able to clarify.

Edit: Looking at the GLM software description it appears that this is for room acoustics compensation so I don’t think it will help in your case.
