i get used more and more for SQ that i  get out of my D800 paired with Linn ADS  through Digital out.
So meanwhile quite happy Smile

Why don't you want to try specialized network transport like Auralic Aries or Arurender N100, N10? I bet they will give you (much) better SQ than Linn's digital BNC output.

And I doubt Klimax DS will be a worthy purchase in your case. 
I would strongly recommend you to try it before purchasing. Klimax DS sounds amazing when connected through a preamp or straight to power amp(s).
In your case the SQ will depend a lot on the Devialet ADC quality. I doubt it is good enough to show full potential of Klimax DS.

P.S. If you want to try Klimax DS, try it with a power amp (Klimax Twin or any other comparable) and with your Devialet. It will be interesting to read about your impressions.

I had Aurender X100L for about 6-8 month and to be honest, in my setup the excitement after switching from Mac mini faded away very quickly.
In order to, some how get boost in SQ I even purchased TotalDac d1 USB cable, but in my setup i didn't heard any difference between 3$ Canon printer USB cable that i took from work and TotalDac.
At some point i started to think that Devialet DAC is the main issue here, then totally by chance i took Linn ADS for a test.
Linn Akurate with BNC digital out gave me a step up in SQ
Although, the Aurender control app on iPad is the best that i have seen, and native Linn Kinsky APP is really sucks , i found out that i can use JRiver server (50$) through UPnP with Client app (6$) on iPad that gave me 90% of what i had with Aurender APP + better looking and with Linn SQ .

I just yesterday ordered BNC to XLR adapter to connect it in to Devialet's EBU input, ill update when ill test it .
i guess the next step is TotalDac server Smile too bad i don't have dealer that sells its so i could test it,
the only way is blindly buying it .
