Hi zdenes,
as I can see from your profile you still have the 800. I think the new CI board makes a big difference for AIR. I also think that an SOtM bridge could further improve the SQ of my Mutec system. But driven directly from an optimized PC (AO, Fidelizer) Roon/AIR via Wifi is better. I have already used 2 MC-3 USB clocked by the REF 10, adding 2 more boxes which might be a little bit better again does not make sense for me. I really love the minimized setup I have now (which was the reason to buy Devialet initially). It could also happen that adding SOtM is sounding 1% better and as soon as Roon RAAT is supported by a future firmware release that this sounds 1% better again. And the Mutecs tend to cut off a second of music while they are synchronizing, especially if the format is changing.
