I'm at a loss with your Scarlatti why you would not just use the matching dCS USB interface?

Surely this is matched and surely dCS would not release anything inferior? Thoughts?
I use the Paganini equivalent set up and as far as I can tell, with J River Media Center /Wasapi exclusive / ASUS EB1501 USB / Paganini USB interface, the sound is every bit as good as the Paganini transport via AES EBU. Adding room correction (Audiolense), it is clearly better than the transport.
I've not compared other DACs but have reports from two reviewers who have, that you the dCS gear is definitely in a different league to the cheaper DACs.
Look forward to hearing of your experiences.
