I do think the Devialet USB is a bit weird.
When I used Audirvana it used to get tripped up quite badly when the input got changed on the D, and sometimes have to be restarted.
With Roon, even direct from the the Mac, Roon can carry on playing to the device even though its gone into standby, yet as soon as you bring it out of standby, playback gets disconnected. And then reconnected. The reconnect code I'm pretty sure is Roon's doing. Its like Devialet doesn't tell things its going off line properly. Same happens with the rendu. This is just my subjective experience, I know nothing about USB protocols/handshakes.
I believe Roon do have some Devialet gear now, so maybe once manufacturers start reporting issues directly, it will be harder for them to ignore and there might be fixes....
