Devialet's USB implementation

[MusicLover]

Hi guys,

I've been trying to find more tech data regarding my D200 USB input, but failed in the attempt.

I've been experimenting a bit recently. I connected my laptop via USB to my Oppo 105 then coax to the D200 (nice cabling all around), and I must say that, not really expecting much, I was quite impressed by the sound. Nothing extreme in individual parameter's (tonal balance, soundstage, instrument separation...) improvement but an overall sense of ease and engagement not found in my laptop's direct connexion to the D200.

Now, this could very well be the result of the poor USB output of my laptop or that the coax input of the D200 is so much better that its USB. What do you guys think? I know it is difficult to stablish a baseline without further experimentation.

I would essentially like to have an idea as to how an Aurender X100 would perform in my system. Unfortunately I've got no dealer that can lend me one nearby.

Any info is very appreciated
