I agree with most of what you said except that I feel that it sounds better through the digital output (spdif) of the Oppo into a reclocker than AES/EBU into the Devialet. In my system:
Oppo 203 to Mutec MC-3 usb (reclocking) to Devialet. I find this way better than analogue to the Devialet despite using very expensive analogue cables. In your case D-A-D-A conversion, in my system D(-D)-A Maybe you should try it this way too. The disadvantage is that I can't play SACDs at all and Blue-rays will be downconverted to 48kHz. Not a huge issue as very few go above this sampling rate anyway.
Picture quality is out of this world.
