@Confused,
Interesting (it's amazing how useful that word is to convey confusion at the vagaries and inconsistencies of things like this).
I was basing my comments on my memories of connecting my then 130 Pro by USB to an Antipodes server running Roon Core. I can remember having to select a USB output on the Antipodes and having to use the Devialet remote to switch to the 130 Pro's USB input. I can't remember ever seeing the Devialet itself in the Roon list but that's a memory from 5 years ago now and I've only been using an ethernet connection for well over 4 years now.
Obviously something funny is going on with the Devialet-Zen USB connection that isn't going on with the Mutec-Zen connection. I have no idea what that might be but I would think the problem is at the Devialet end of the handshake. If the connection to the Mutec shows in Roon then the Zen and Mutec are obviously behaving the way Roon expects devices to handle USB connections. That suggests that any problem with the USB connection between the Zen and the Devialet lies at the Devialet end of the handshake.
