Would love to hear the results of that comparison!
Couple of weeks ago I tested a DCS Vivaldi Upsampler (20K USD !!!!) as digital source to Devialet... Although it was delightful, did not justify the cost... AIR, with my current configuration (: Apple Airport Extreme grounded to Entreq, .75m Audioquest Diamond Ethernet to Devialet, wireless from my MacBook Pro using Audirvana and RamDisk for the playlist, playing Wav files) is now very close, if not better...
My next trial will be playing around with power supply of the router... Now I have a home made power cable for the router instead of the standard Apple which makes a real difference... I will try linear or battery supply for the router... We will see...
I know I am crazy, but I really like squeezing the last bit from these wonderful amps..
And a sincere thank you to Guillaume for giving me the last push for the Audioquest Diamond ...
Cheers...
