Thank you for your input.
There was always a discussion about which feed/connection sounds best. I ended up with USB because it was the most reliable connection to me using a good short cable. A MacMini served using different players to check. I did not play high-res music so far. The easiest way to feed the Devialet from the Apple world, seems to me to be an AppleTV. The newer generations do not have digital outs. So an AppleTV3 should be the solution. MacMini worked well so far, but using more an more music streaming (apple music and others) the AppleTV seams seems to be the easier way.
Did you try different connections and compare them with the optical one?
Any recommendations for a cable (length under one meter).
I don't want to invest in a CI upgrade right now. Hence my consideration with AppleTV and an optical connection.
