Has the Roon support killed all opposition?

In your sig, it looks like you're going SPDIF out of the digiOne to AES in on the Devialet.

Does require some conversion more than just a cable with coax on one end and XLR on the other?

I'm not  Hifi_swlon, but the Neutrik in his sig is this one: http://www.neutrik.com/en/accessories/ae...aditbnc-mx

Yeah, see above (thanks ogs).

Fwiw I have both connections wired simultaneously:
rca>rca via a non-exotic cable made from tm3 connections. http://tm3connections.com/hi-fi-audio-ca...elden-1694
It’s worth noting that I went for the 75ohm cable/connectors but later Allo revealed they didn’t set their RCA output at 75ohm as they didn’t believe a true 75ohm connector existed - go figure.

Coax>coax (stock cable) into the Neutrik converter into Devialet AES. Although a specific coax>AES cable would most likely just work.

For the life of me I can’t tell the two apart. I leave it on the AES probably just because I bought the adaptor and it’s reported to be the best input but it’s certainly beyond any measure I can hear. I only leave them both wired up because the rca cable was thick and inflexible and a pain to get in and out so I just leave it there if I ever need it in the future or ever have the desire to compare them again which seems wholly unlikely.

I think I’ve fully gone through the ‘experimental, worrying about it all’ phase and have thankfully come out the other side unscathed other than having wasted a lot of time to come to the conclusion that inputs and digital cables don’t really mean anything to me in the grand scheme of things, in fact i probably lean back towards it making little or no difference, certainly to me.
