Very interesting to hear! I also experienced a massive improvement when using the Devialets with an Audioquest Niagara power conditioner (using the 3000/5000 will provide even more performance) and also using AQ power cords which had another great effect.
Regarding the DAC I also think the used Texas Instruments 1792 is a classic and offers a very solid and timeless performance. In the Pro/CI version they even further tweaked the DAC with their Magic Wire.
Currently the Devialet Master is connected via AES/EBU from a Holo Audio Red running HQPlayer NAA (the HQPlayer upsample options to 192/24 and filters offer even more sound quality tweaking possibilities). And what also had a considerable performance was to connect the Devialet Slave via an iFi iPurifier2 (which has a high quality reclocking too).
So seems regarding DAC we are still quite competitive on the market
