The Devialet USB input has no real isolation built in as far as I can judge. The Mutec has.
My chain currently is:
HQ 4 rail LPSU (Paul Hynes) with galvanically isolated/floating powerrails
fiber optic ethernet (converter fed clean power from PH) for complete noise isolation from the main network
high quality ethernet cable
microRendu (fed clean power from PH) with galvanic isolation on its ethernet input and providing a USB output with high quality/integrity USB signal
high quality USB cable
Mutec (fed clean power from PH) for reclocking, USB galvanic isolation and USB->AES3 conversion
high quality AES/EBU interlink
See a pattern here?
Isolation, isolation, isolation plus high quality signal and power to keep noise and distortion in both the digital and analog domains as low as I can.
