We know nothing about the sound quality of the CI board yet. We may find that the AES input of the Devialet is improved with the CI or maybe it's not...
With a Mutec REF 10 on the dCS Bridge I am sure it will sound stellar. Comparing mR/Mutec MC3 and Roon/AIR there is actually quite a big difference; the mR/Mutec is much better. A REF 10 on the MC3 is a dream, but the REF10 is unfortunately too expensive for me. Even if RAAT is better than Roon's AIR implementation the CI board would need a real reclocker to compete with the Mutec or dCS. And, as you say, the CI board does not even have a word clock input.
