Having used USB input to my Devialet, I'd have to say that the word "degrades" is an exaggeration. I think many use USB input and find that it sounds great. Another alternative might be to stream via AIR over ethernet to your Devialet. I do prefer using AIR over USB, but it's far from a dramatic improvement. Of course, I have not tried the Alpha USB so I can't speak to its value.
