Yes, both Shimano disc brakes should be fully compatible with DT Swiss disc hubs.

thx for those helpfull replys but a last one about dsk/br can i put a bl-m756 (for me they r killer look and got a beter "reach construction")
on my deore dsk/br caus i think those one got some resin/kevlar hose and the xt probably still have steel one so is this mix possible????!

thx again...

I believe that the latest XT disc brakes use a resin hose...AndyH

...instead of the stainless-steel one that was used a few years back (which I had on my old XT disc brakes). So I do believe (but I'm not 100% certain) that you can use the XT BL-M756 levers with your Deore hydraulic disc brake calipers.
