Hi Antoine,
in your poll I miss the direct ethernet connection, which sounds best to me. It is indeed a small difference, but I don't have to send the signal over the router. My "only for music" Mac mini sits next to my Devialet. Player software is itunes. The cable is a short Neyton ethernet cable, which is not very expensive, but I think every ethernet cable with good plugs (!) will do.
Second best for me is USB. I have Amarra as player software. You can be very happy with this solution. USB cable has influence.
I have a little problem with AIR Wifi: there are sometimes interrupts with 24/192 files. Maybe my router is too far away, about 9 meters. No problems with 24/96 and under.
