A Confused streaming system - Mutec / SOtM Ultra

[ogs]

@PeppaPig you do not have to understand. Just read and accept, or even better, try it for yourself. As you can see from my signature I also use a Mutec. The AES/EBU input of the Devialet is very good. Using the Mutec to reclock the stream before entering the Devialet improves sound quite markedly. I guess you'd have similar improvement on one of the RCA inputs as well, but the AES is better. Sound quality from a Devialet amplifier (this goes for Phantoms too) depends on the quality of the input signal. A reclocker enhances purity of the stream.
The Devialet does not have a built in reclocker. It ought to have one. Especially on the CI board as this is a NEW design, but Devialet missed the boat here.
