I have no idea how these things work or, indeed, if there is an sound difference with a technical correlation, but one starting point would be to know whether there are any technical bases as to why these things might sound different.
Clearly there is a limitation on consistency of source output even if that is described simply as CD storage or computer storage (ignoring any necessary or optional intermediate kit aside from the cable); but if we look at the Devialet inputs there are (or have been) 8 digital possibilities as far as I know:
1. Wireless AIR
2. Ethernet RJ45 AIR
3. USB
4. Optical Toslink
5. Optical Toslink mini
6. RCA S/PDIF
7. XLR AES/EBU
8. HDMI
Are there any technical reasons why, at the Devialet socket, these should be different?
