Does anyone have an opinion about the new P S Audio Bridge 2 ?


I was interested in buying a Bridge 2.  Have you bought this item ?  What are your thoughts about the item ?

jwt, thanks for your experience with Mojo Audio. The dedicated PS must have made a big impact. I would have a go at Mojo but internal and good (digital) volume control in a DAC is a must for me. I am also sticking with PSA as I am sure software updates by the designer Ted will keep on improving the sound quality. 

PSA DSD with the bridge trumps IME the setup Logitech Touch with dedicated lin PS + USB Regen (def a step up vs no Regen). FWIW, I could not get BubbleUPnP on Android to work with Synology NAS out of the box for DSD files (no issues at all with Logitech Media Server but LMS didnt support DSD format) and have to install Java 8 SE + MinimServer on the NAS.

2016 is the defining moment. 700$ with ifi powered.

I personally think the SONORE microRendu will take on all these giants in the hifi industry. 

Time to migrate your music to a NAS and have a ethernet streamer dac with usb that does not have noise to begin with. And have the option to use multiple dacs in multiple rooms with ethernet.

REVIEWS
Chris Connaker of computeraudiophile.com recently reviewed the microRendu and said, "From the beautiful distortion of Hendrix to the simplistic vocals and whisper soft trumpet of Chet Baker, the microRendu enabled all the music to shine in its best light. I don't believe I've had a sonically better source connected to my system at any time."

Michael Lavorgna said this over at Audio Stream, "The first I did this morning, after making coffee, is connect the little microRendu to my hi-fi, set its output for Roon, and hit Play. First impressions: Wow!"

Hans Beekhuyzen said this on his YouTube channel, "The shockingly good Sonore microRendu networked audio adapter is versatile and extremely good sounding."

I was one of the beta testers for both versions of the Bridge and now use Bridge II. Firstly, as just a point of information, it is not "sourced from another company" - it does use a chip from another company but the product as a  whole is PS audio's own design, along with the DAC firmware, and is manufactured in Boulder, CO. You do need a streamer that speaks DLNA to use it. The first version did not do gapless, but Bridge II does gapless to perfection. As a general observation, Bridge I was IMHO a little rough, but Bridge II is rock solid, it is absolutely stable with JRiver and I have been using that way for a long time now with zero issues. I would agree that both PS Audio and JRiver (especially the latter) need to get better with documentation, but otoh both have forums where you can get an answer to any problems/questions quickly. 
+1 for the microRendu. Superb gear. Works so flawlessly and reliably  with my Windows 10 ROON server and maybe dozen ROON clients.
