I've been using the Devialet with Air 3.02 now and JRiver 22 on an absolutely non-dedicated PC. It's is a very powerful desktop PC but used for all sort of other things (among them my wife surfing the net) while I'm streaming music. The PC is powerful enough to do all these and to be honest, I'm not sure if I hear any difference when it's streaming only and nothing else is going on. No crack or glitches or anything with AIR (ethernet) but I was wondering of introducing a SOtM SMS-200 and use NAA (HQplayer) and USB to the Devialet would bring any improvement. Has anybody tried it? Or do I also need a Mutec MC3 USB to hear any difference?
