I purchased PS Audio DirectStream DAC in October with Windom and Bridge II installed. It took a bit of listening (running/ burn-in) to sound so special. I second your comments, and I am enjoying my music collection more than ever.
I noticed two things, and I wonder if any of you experienced these:
1. Bridge II makes Wav and Flac ripped to 44.1 / 16 sound so good I prefer them to most 96 / 24 downloads. It makes me wonder if this device was tuned to this specific format. However, 96 and 192 Khz formats do sound better through SPDIF coaxial cable. I do not have DSD files, yet.
2. Bass reproduction through Bridge II seems cleaner, tighter, and better defined than the SPDIF coaxial (I tested 4 digital cables to validate this observation)
