Headphones and the Devialet

[Womaz]

For me, if I were only considering listening to a single, digital source (Roon/Nucleus), I'd say the 200 is not bringing a lot of "value" to that from an audio quality point of view.  However if your headphone amp doesn't have a digital input, the 200 is doing the essential job of converting the digital stream from the Nucleus into analog.  Just my 2p-worth, of course.

Ian many thanks again. This last sentence is what I was starting to think.
So it may be best to get a dedicated HP amp the Conductor 3X for eg as this is primarily a HP amp with a dedicated DAC etc.
I know we cant answer that question until I try it.
One last question and forgive me if its a stupid one. So my Nucleus is connected by USB to my Conductor amp. I control Roon as normal with my Roon Remote IPad app. How does the IPad app see the Conductor? Does it work in exactly the same was as it recognises my 200?
I ask as it sometimes loses my 200 and I have to reboot the Nucleus
