i see HDMI out, SPDIF, Tousling outputs.
The Akurate DS is connected via SPDIF digital out. At the moment I have connected it to the totaldac d1 server. As well as being a streamer the totaldac also has digital inputs (USB, optical, SPDIF and AES/EBU) so you can even connect a CD player through it if you want. This allows you to reclock the signal and then send it onto the Devialet.
I've just played a few tracks and my first impression is wow! This is good! Then I switched to the MPD input and played the same track and I almost can't believe what I'm hearing!
But I think this is now 7.5 to 10!
I'm using a cheapish old Chord SPDIF cable, when Rufus comes tomorrow we will experiment with the Transparent Ref XL.
Now I need to configure the Master so it can take an extra digital input, almost dreading this!
