Yes I'm now using it with my Devialet.
NUC Roon server -> sotm sms-200 -> AQ Diamond USB -> Chord Dave -> Devialet
I would say the improvement bought by sotm sms-200, which may due to streaming isolation & superior USB output quality, bring bigger improvement than using AQ Diamond USB here.
And sometimes add the mutec reclocker.
NUC Roon server -> sotm sms-200 -> AQ Diamond USB -> mutec mc-3+ USB -> AES cable -> Chord Dave -> Devialet
Even with mutec reclocker, I've try AB test AQ Diamond USB vs Curious USB link cable. Unfortunately, I can still hear the AQ is slightly better, so I can't let go the AQ for some $ yet ^^:
Back to your question, I'd take the USB signal quality instead of just the USB cable alone.
I've use a few USB cables and USB source with Dave, microRendu, NUC USB output, ifi iUSB 3, and now settle on sotm sms-200, I'd say Dave still affected by the USB signal quality. Even the sotm sms-200 power supply by Uptone JS-2 LPS instead of ifi iPower, I can still hear little improvement. |
