I dont want to do a home demo if it will not be used at its optimum sound quality as 6k is a major purchase for me. I might not be demoing it to its full effect if you like.
I will investigate using a USB cable direct from my QNAP NAS?? This could prove a temporary fix to remove the CLIC from the chain.
Truth is am hopeless at this stuff.......thank heavens for the forum.
My view is that if you use the CLiC the sound quality will be limited mainly by the quality of the DAC in the CLiC. The Devialet won't add to or take away much from that sound.
I know that it is possible to use (some) Synology NASs directly with a Devialet using USB and software called Audio Station installed on the NAS.
I am not sure whether equivalent s/w exists for QNAP NAS but if yo let me know the model that you will have I will try to find out
