Interesting observations Zoltan, thanks for posting. It is perhaps worth mentioning that when I ran through all the PCM filter options, poly-sync-shrt was one that made my 'final four' short list. There is a key point here, after some repeated A/B tests, I settled for poly-sync-ext, and to date, poly-sync-ext is the only one that I have sat down and spent some extended listening time with. I plan to stick with poly-sync-ext for a while, then maybe simply try one of the other 'shortlisted' filters for a while. I think extended listening can very often tell you a lot more than quick A/B's. It's interesting that you mentioned 'details and life-like' for poly-sync-shrt, in my notes for the same filter I have 'natural', which is a pretty similar result, I also made a positive comment re bass power, something else entirely!
As for the REF10, I have my eye on that one too! I do have some questions as to how exactly the Devialet 'extracts' the clock signal from AES3 feed, I think the answer to this is critical to how well the REF10 might perform with a Devialet. However, that is off topic here, I'll pick this up in the Mutec thread when I get a chance. If anyone knows the answer to this one, please post here:
