Personally, I can't hear a difference between Roon Air, and Devialet Air, and if we accept that the data delivery transport (ethernet cable/route) can't change the sound, then why should it change it at the protocol level? - especially when all inputs are immediately "converted to 24-bit/192kHz before being passed along to the DAC".

I don't think I've seen anyone claim that there's an audible difference between Roon AIR and the Devialet AIR app. What lots of people have said is that Roon AIR works and that Devialet AIR does not work reliably. I guess you could say there is an audible difference if you get music playing when using Roon AIR and you get silence when using Devialet AIR.
Hum... I haven't tested recently but in my environment Air used to sound better than Raat... but was a lot less stable. I know it's different from what many people reported.
I would need to test again one of these days now that Raat is 100% stable.
