Do you run AES to your Devialet?
The bridge shows up immediately as an output within ROON...ethernet to the bridge and AES to the D.
My confusion as to the need for AIR only exposes my limited understanding of networking and ROON endpoints as I had assumed AIR was required in either case.
Ok I see not easy to understand all this networked stuff
What have you compared the Bridge to only AIR? I am also looking at the dCS bridge so I am looking forward to your impressions.
For comparisons the journey went from
MacMini/Audirvana/Berkeley Alpha USB into Berkeley DAC
Auralic Aries into Berkeley Dac
Aries to Devialet
Air to Devialet
ROON
ROON to Bridge to Devialet
Unit is brand new, just out of the box but the refinement, extension and pure detail was immediately noticable. Speakers seem to go deeper with more apparent bass output and articulation. Listening to massed orchestra one can see further into the complexities and interplay between sections of the orchestra.
We often use the Overture to Figaro as a comparison track as it is so gleeful and exciting and in listening through the bridge many new nuances were easily heard.
I have read that there are some software upgrades planned with MQA being one of them. Not sure hw this will be realized...would ROON do the first unfold (when updated to MQA compatability) and the bridge the second? Or?
Now if Devialet would get a move on....! What a totally unsufferable company! No news, nothing!
