In meantime i found the sound to be not even unfamiliar but also worse to my taste.
It felt like a huge bowl around each speaker, concentrating to depth only. I also missed the crisp and punchy sound character of the system.
Things became more strange when listening with headphones (pre out of slave connected to headphone amp).
Finally i decided to reconnect Pin 1 for testing and now things are right again in my hearing.
To be honest, i have no idea what happened first w/o Pin 1 connected - i was deeply impressed in the beginning.
I ordered a new streamer which will allow to do w/o Devialet pre out and thus try to settle pure SPDIF connection from master to slave.
