Just made some tests with FDA amps. To compare the FDA and the D400 I had to use the toslink for FDA on a speaker and the USB Devialet on the 2nd one.
Confirm that D400 is still better than FDA amp
But on this occasion for the 1st time I made some tests with USB from a macbook pro to read some files from the NAS through itunes and with Air Ethernet.
To my ears Air ethernet is much better than USB.
Of course if you use a drive like Melco, Moon, Auralic or Lumin the result is good (I listened to the Melco recently). But not from a PC/MAC drive
