I had a PS Audio PWD MKII with bridge 1. I ran DLNA server on a Mac or Windows. I prefer LMS over JRiver. SQ was very good but Bridge 1 was very unstable that requires frequent recycles so moved on.
My brother replaced his PS Audio PWD MKII / bridge 1 with PS Audio DirectStream / bridge 11. He brought it to my home over Thanksgiving. It took ~10 minutes to download and install JRiver on my computer. We use JRemote on his iPad ... SQ was a HUGE improvement over PWD.MK11. Bridge 11 is very stable, faster and no failures so far.
I haven't demo all available DACs in the market but at street price, PS Audio DirectStream / bridge 11 has to be one of the best ROI.
