Happy users of SPDIF in Lampizator Big 7's?

I am considering moving to a Lampi Big 7, but I have one pretty important reservation. I plan to have all of my DAC's in the house fed via renderers that draw on a NAS, because I really don't want a computer in my listening rooms anymore, so going to an ethernet feed off of a remote NAS is very appealing. I was anticipating using SPDIF as the inputs on the DAC's, but I read Jafox's disappointing experience using the SPDIF on his Big 6 versus the USB input, and that really gives me pause about a Lampi in this scheme.

So, any happy Lampi Big 7 users that have compared USB to SPDIF and find it just fine?

So, no DoP feed on the PCM connection? It's not too big a of deal for me. Presently I own exactly zero DSD titles, and I really am not feeling it for DSD, in general (too much dough per recording). I am actually pretty encouraged by the PCM that I listen too, and I am figuring that the Lampi will put the icing on that cake.

I just want to know that PCM over the SPDIF feed isn't compromised, and it sounds like that is not an issue. Thanks!
