The New PS Audio PWD MKII

I have just purchased (from Underwood HiFi) the Perfect Wave Transport, DACII, and Bridge, and I also got the eLyric music software downloaded to my Macbook and my iPad. I am still trying to get the eLyric software to locate my Bridge in the DACII and allow me to stream my computer library to it. So far, the eLyric software finds all my Squeezeboxes (6 of them) and offers to stream to them, but not to the PS Audio Bridge. I have updated the firmware to the most recent version, so I'm not sure what else I have to do. I am running the Bridge wired to a wireless access point because my modem and router are on the third floor and my stereo is on the basement level of my townhouse. DACII shows it is connected to internet but eLyric still does not find Bridge. This is supposed to be plug and play! But being a longtime Squeezebox user, I know it can take some initial fiddling to get the system settled in properly. One thing about PS Audio is that they answer their phones and emails and will talk you through everything.

Thanks Tonyp for the suggestion--I will see if I can enter the Bridge settings manually. At one point I was at that screen and there were no numbers on it--because i was not connected to my network. Stickman I don't know if I will be able to tell the difference between wireless streaming to the DACII vs. USB connection for the same files. Theoretically streaming gives you one more application of jitter reduction since there is an additional digital lens (PS Audio speak) in the Bridge, as well as in the DACII. But although my system is good it's not Mike Lavigne good and I doubt I will hear a big difference.

Got my bridge and eLyric working today thanks to arrival (overnight shipping from Amazon) of a new wireless Ethernet bridge. I followed PS Audio knowledge base recommendation and bought a Linksys (Cisco) WES610N 4-port bridge. I was trying to use my Squeezeboxes to bridge to my wireless network but they would not work with the DACII. They did work with the PS Audio Transport though. The Squeezeboxen will bridge any of my other devices but not the PS Audio Bridge/DAC. Anyway I set up the Linksys to use the 5G part of my network, since it has no other traffic. ELyric sees the DAC now and I am streaming my high-res files, something my Squeezeboxes won't do. I chose the option to play all albums gap less and Paul Simon's live NYC concert is playing flawlessly. Much more bass and wider stage with this setup than with my SB Touch into the Northwave USB DAC I was using. Very crisp and detailed. Of course this is also a high res file so not apples to apples. Just glad to have it all working. As a longtime Squeezebox user I know networking issues can take some trial and error to solve. I am no engineer or computer expert either. PS Audio customer service suggested I try using another type of wireless bridge/access point. I like this one because with 4 Ethernet ports both the transport and DAC can plug into it. I was using two Squeezeboxes in my initial attempt to get the PS Audio stuff to talk to each other and my network. This is much cleaner.
