If so, I would be fascinated to learn how you think the MC3/REF10 combination sounds versus streaming direct via the Core Infinity board. That is assuming you can get the CI board working! A lot of 'ifs' I know, but it would be a useful reference point for someone like myself who is considering getting a REF10 next year.
I just got the CI upgrade yesterday, and have a brief comparison of
- RoonAir through Ethernet to Devialet; vs
- my existing sotm sms-200 -> mutec with Cybershaft clock -> AES of Devialet
Unfortunately I've to tell the latter is still better in SQ, and the CI upgrade improve the SQ of AES input as well.
