Problem is that our new speakers assume we will use a tablet or phone for control and to see settings, which means a SpeakerLink source and Meridian software. Focal/Naim's new Diva active speaker, by contrast, is getting a ton of positive press right now because they emphasize a user experience which enables multiple popular protocols, and fewer boxes and wires. Easy, and doesn't demand Naim electronics.
To use DSP9s, I had to set them to come out of standby using the bluetooth puck (which then must be removed to free up the SL port), make my own AES-to-SL cable and then get a M remote for volume control in order to make use of my preferred AES, non-M sources. So, no, I haven't gone back to the puck and enabled USB instead...
