Glad I could help @jstat. And for some peace of mind, I found that this method of delivery to be on par with the Sonore UltraRendu, which bested the Bridge II in my system.
Also, going through the Bridge II is technically NOT direct to the DS DAC. It is still an intermediary device, like the Sonore or Oppo. So, delivering via this route in lieu of the Bridge II is not adding an extra device. As a matter of fact, the Bridge II hardware is not manufactured by PS Audio, but rather ConversDigital. I put more faith in Oppo’s audio engineering than I do ConversDigital.
Just be sure to remove your Bridge II card as it is not necessary and only stands to add noise to the DS DAC.
@Bruce-in-philly impression of removing the card: Remove Bridge from Senior - Better Sound?
Like you, I am a huge fan of Audirvana+ and chose not to be without its splendor.
