All I can say is that I have seen the light as defined by Hi Rez music played with the convenience of a PC. Right now I am listening to my new favorite recording from HD Tracks Sara Bareilles 'brave enough' from my Silenzio into my Chinese Shanling T-100 MkII being used as a DAC with my WW Platinum Starlight USB cable. This adds a matched pair of goldlons in the output stage and has added musicality over my D100 (which has been a pain in the a$$ via USB lately). It also puts Burr brown chips in place instead of the D100's ESS Sabre chips and gives up anything deeper then 48Hz sample rate. (The T100 is ~10 yr old tech) It may also have given up a little definition / clarity but the low end reaches deeper and the mids are less forward and a little sweeter. (Or is it psychoacoustic gremlins?) it sounds great.
In the end, the Silenzio and a WW Platinum Starlight USB cable give you a pure, clean and quiet source as it is meant to be and the convenience of 'at your fingers access' to your entire library ex - LPs.  . It is a great sounding and convenient source.
