The mini would need to be better than its older big sister if it were not meet your "not inferior to AIR" requirement for sound quality. I'm not aware that anyone has tried one with a Devialet (is it even available yet?), so you never know.
Yes I have actually been doing this tonight , oh the decisions. The Cambridge Cxn is another one I am considering. I think I have finally lost patience with AIR and Dialog, .........however I am on holiday with way too much time on my hands
I have been where you may be going. Spending more money by trying to save money.
I tried three different "renderers" and wasn't satisfied with the sound. None were extravagantly expensive but the sum total wasn't insignificant. Considering the time to install and troubleshoot (when necessary) and reselling or returning at a loss, it would have been better to have bought the Aurender instead.
