This thread is ancient, and this doesn't answer your question really, but I have a DirectStream with Bridge II in my all Shindo system. It never leaves me wanting (except that my 8 year old Bridge II broke the other day, and I need a replacement). But it's a fine DAC.
Which Streamer is a Major Upgrade over PS Audio Bridge II in a DSD DAC
I am a big fan of the PS Audio DSD DAC, which I will keep. I installed the Bridge II streamer card, easy-peasey and sounds good. Tell me what will be a clearly audible upgrade streamer vs the Bridge II and is easy to use. Don't need a new DAC. Thx. Neal
