Isn't it the case that all inputs into the Devialet are digitized before sending to the amplifier? If so, how would this test of using the analogue inputs tell us much?

Yes, the Devialet digitises all analog inputs. But one might expect that the Devialet ADC and DAC are more transparent than the R-2R DAC @JimSmith mentioned, in which case any colouration the R-2R DAC provides should be preserved through the Devialet. If so, that could confirm that what @JimSmith likes is indeed the sound of this DAC. If not, maybe it's more to do with the other amplifier.
