You guys have mentioned really good points. I am really moved with @Confused recommendations. There's a saying "Less is better" and that's what Devialet did to the electronics chain and we all have benefited from this.
Trust me, $ 8,000 for 400 - - > 440-PRO hurts but if the overall benefits are substantial, then its worth it. Of course, it also updates my amps to Devialet's current standards ... meaning continuing support.
I will go for the Roon Nucleus and my ethernet cable is AQ Diamond. Probably, this just may be the "best" route instead of boxes after boxes and more cables ...
I was at Devialet's NYC manhattan's Main store where I heard the 440 Pro, 1000 Pro with Martin Logan speakers (that's what Devialet USA uses & prefers) and the sound was quite pristine.
Guess, I'll call the NYC store guys & arrange for the upgrade.
Thanks to ALL for your valuable inputs ... Sincerely appreciated !!
