Today I spent about 4 hours to check what is better sounding with Devialet....WIFI Air or USB cable with Audioquest Diamond USB.
I can say that WIFI Air is better sounding option. Especially better are micro details of sound. I can hear all these super micro sounds better.. they are more precise. Sound with WIFI Air is extremly transparent and very dynamic. For some persons it could be too much transparent and seems too bright...it depends on loudspeakers. But with Sonus Faber Auditor M which are very natural sounding speakers WIFI Air is great solution to listen music.
USB with Diamond cable is less transparent and seems more focused on mid tones. Voices sounds very nice but without freshness typical for WIFI Air...
I decided not to buy Audioquest Diamond USB and instead invest more money in perfect WIFI network in my home.
