In the polling alternatives one VERY GOOD setup is missing. That's Computer(Mac) via Firewire-Weiss INT203-AES/EBU cable-Devialet. I use this and sometimes AIR ethernet with extremely good results. It's definitely better than the USB connection, which is a standard that was never optimized for audio, while Firewire and AES/EBU were designed for media. From the very beginning Devialet also mentioned this setup as the preferable one.
For switching the Weiss INT203 to the native sample rate I use Pure Music 2.0.2, DSP disabled, gapless playback, memory play.
The INT203's price tag is low compared to Devialet's, so I don't quite understand the fuss about USB.
