Steve,
......If you want the best SQ possible, then get an async USB converter with HDMI I2S to your PWD.......
Offramp 5 is the only such device soon to be on the market as far is I know.
James,
Another thought. If you get the MKII upgrade on the PWD, you will get more bang for the buck in terms of improved SQ per $$$ than anything else you can do. You will also get an asynch USB input, so you can do "computer based audio", probably 90% of the quality of the I2S input. A MKII over USB is definitely going to sound better than a MKI using I2S.
