I tried the AZ Connect app using my iPad controlling my Melco and Devialet with uPnP.
The sound quality is similar to AIR. Something that I dislike is that if I am watching some video on iPad, the music playback from Devialet is interrupted.
After comparing with my usual playback (Melco to Mutec via USB and Mutec to Devialet via AES) to uPnP via Ethernet, I still prefer the form as the music seems more dimensional and definitely more lifelike. The direct from Melco to Devialet is commendable, there is a lot of clarity. Just lose out in terms of projecting a flat soundstage and less in terms of realism. It may be unfair to compare as I have a master clock ( Ref10) to the Mutec usb to AES converter.
I will still continue to compare and evaluated.
