since I updated to beta 14 and use Roon/AIR via Wifi (!!, better than Ethernet in my system) I have moved my Mutecs (2x MC-3 USB cascaded and clocked with REF 10) to my headphone setup. Roon/AIR is simply playing on a higher level, maybe because it does not use WASAPI or ASIO but directly sends the data to the Devialet.
Maybe the additional use of the SOtM devices is again better than my PC based system, but the ease of use of Roon and the minimal setup I have now makes the approach with 3 or 4 additional boxes (maybe plus some additional PS) at least questionable for me. It is now playing as originally planned (only the 2 Devialets on the wall) and sounds better than ever.
I hope that beta 14 is not accidentally playing so good and the final FW is on the same level (or better).
