As far as I know and understand is that all signals going into Devialet will be converted to digital signals and then reconvert to analog signals. So, even if you are using digital interconnects to Devialet, all signals will still be converted. I have look into the Pass Thru setting and it is only bypassing the volume control of the Devialet; ie you control vol from external device which may be your pre-amp.
I set my line-in input to 192kHz, which I don't think matter much, unless we are talking about vinyl input.
Now, all being said, I had tried using iFi iTube and external Audiogen CD player via RCA input to my D200, and I can hear differences. So, if you like the RCA input sound of the Akurate DS, then just go with it.
