Hey all … I know some of you have this unit… and I have yet to see any negative review on it… For those unaware - this is essentially a USB to I2S converter that seems to mate well with the DS. All reports give it a thumbs up… These reports have been in multiple threads - and I was hoping all cou…

Having followed the pops and ticks over the Bridge II issue for over a year, my conclusion is that it will not be solved. The Korean manufacturer of the Bridge II is incapable, or unwilling to solve it and PS Audio is not able. I’m not impressed with the Bridge II to begin with and there is a long…
