Recently, I got an XLO coaxial cable and tried hooking up my metronome CD player to the dev that way.
Now I have a problem. I can hear everything. The low level noise in the recording, people walking in the music hall, door closing....etc
Everything.
I went back to the same lossless recording on my NAS...not as detailed, not as lively. Not close to the CD quality.
I am now convinced that using a good CDP as transport with the dev is better than streaming using AIR.
Anyone with similar experience?
Am glad to hear that you took this "bold step" ... congrats !!
BTW - things get even better if you had an AES/EBU XLR output on that Metronome ... my Kalista Ref has and I use that ... Its supposed to be the best sounding input for the Dev !!
