Quote:Doing the armchair audio designer bit, I could see that the MC3+USB has an advantage, as it is feeding the Devialet a REF10'd super low jitter signal to the AES/EBU input which the Devialet could take full advantage of when extracting the clock signal.
@Confused are you shure the Devialet uses the clock signal that comes with the AES signal? With all the DSP things going on in there I think they buffer/re-clock the signal with the internal clock but this is pure speculation from my side
