Hi Ken, do you find SBT (connected via ethernet, assumed you have used triode's mod) -> Mark Grant -> Devialet 200 is better than Devialet connected directly via ethernet? Or you using SBT because of music library management?

Hi - for purely the latter reason you mention. I already had the SBT for a few years before I got my D200, and have a NAS/media server solution that works perfectly for me. Confess that I haven't tried AIR, other than to confirm that it works. Currently waiting to see if Devialet provide uPnP support in their next update or two. If not, will seriously look at the Auralic Aries as a replacement for the SBT. Initial reviews of this confirm that it wirelessly streams up to DSD quality, and it should be a simple swap out for the SBT. I did use Triode's mod, but SBT can't hack hires streaming in my environment.

I'm still amazed at how good the humble SBT digital out into the D200 sounds, but the idea of the Aries really appeals to me.

ATB, Ken
