I have read about a case of someone who was running a very similar set up to myself, including the Mutec REF10, although in his case the MC3+USB was feeding a Chord Dave. He tried running the SOtM kit via USB, and found this provided a superior result. I suspect that with the Devialet, that the MC3+USB feeding via AES/EBU will be best, but I am open minded to the possibility that with the CI equipped Pro maybe USB could come out on top. So this is well worth a try I think. In fact, it is now second on my list of things to try. First on my list of things to try is the SOtM modified switch that I have yet to put into my system, so this needs to be tried before the USB vs AES/EBU comparison.
This will be really interesting comparison. Please note that you might experience some issues with the USB-input when using SOtM. You probably should wait for a next Devialet FW before trying this.
