In addition it's worth noting that in the past Devialet themselves have recommended AES/EBU as the digital connector of choice for external sources. Why this is I can't recall. I have a Simaudio Moon MiND 180 and have compared AES vs S/PDIF indirectly and AES sounds a tiny bit sharper and more detailed to me. I use S/PDIF purely because I managed to snag a secondhand Transparent Reference XL S/PDIF cable recently. I'm perfectly happy with S/PDIF. Would be nice to try USB but the MiND has no USB output.
