Beware the dreadful configurator

Well you're not going to believe this... 30 mins later and I still can't get it to work! 

Honestly I just can't believe this...

Oh boy! I'm sorry to hear that. But seriously this is not acceptable from Devialet!

Wow that configurator is tough. I'm not sure what the problem is, it just seems to be so buggy! Anyway I'm there now. After the 10th attempt or something. 

So just tried streaming direct from the Akurate to the Devialet. It's not bad at all! Not quite as good as it was going through the totaldac but not much worse. I suppose the give away is in some of the higher frequencies where there is a bit of smearing that perhaps the totaldac tidied up a little. It sounds quite musical though!

And I'm still on cheapo SPDIF which will get addressed tom. And I might tweak digital out settings on the Akurate.

So I'd say 7/10 Akurate to Dev, to 7.5/10 (ok maybe 7.75!) with totaldac reclocker to 10/10 with MPD only.

I have to say the Kazoo app is very nice to use and Tidal integration seems properly thought through.
