I know what you mean. I have build a silent PC build also with HD-plex case AND feeded with a HD-plex linear PSU. Firstly i had a PPA card and later tried the JCat USB one. But... to my ears despite everything i tried, just Air sounded better. And because just like you i don't find the pleasure in tweaking lots of things as i was used to, i came to the conclusion i am propably better of with a PnP solution like Aurender or Melco...
It has to sound better then Air, otherwise i don't think it's worth the lots of money... Is there a comparison between the various solutions and Air?
