I received my DSJr. a month or so ago, and upgraded to Redcloud soon after, and have thoroughly enjoyed it. However, on two occasions, I have experienced a “popping sound” through the speakers. The first time, I was using Tidal/Roon into the BridgeII, out to a Dennis Had tube amp. and then on to V…

OK, thanks for the input. I am playing “Welcome to NativeDSD Sampler” as my test recording (which was problematic before as were other DSD recordings) using JRiver on a PC to the DSjr via the Bridge II. So I updated the Bridge II today (12/13/19) from 3.06… to whatever is the latest. I have not ye…

I don’t know if it matters to you, but you give up MQA if you don’t use the Bridge II card but you gain the ability to use DSD128. I had an ultraRendu with a Teddy Pardo LPS and it did not sound any better than the Bridge II card. If I were to get an external streamer again, it would be one that out…

I’m sure psaudio is willing , it’s just a bit frustrating ;). I had the SOtM sMS-200 Ultra with a sbooster on trail and it sounded very nice but the difference between the Ultra and the Bridge II (DSJ) was to small to justify the cost. Next step for me is, as speed-racer also mentioned, I2S. In a…

@hanske Please let me know how the Mano Ultra sounds to you. I fear that Roon users will left out in the cold when the new “Bridge III” card comes out and active software development stops on the Bridge II card. Heck, if I don’t care about MQA support, it’s quite likely I would get better sound q…

I’ll probably post my findings about the Mano Ultra in the Compatible I2S source devices topic :wink:

[image] speed-racer: I fear that Roon users will left out in the cold when the new “Bridge III” card comes out Paul has made clear Bridge II will continue to be supported, including Roon. See, here

Paul has also said they will try to include a ROON endpoint in Bridge III, although as I understand it using it as such would waste much of the capabilities of BIII (i.e., it’s ability to act as the server itself).

I agree that the pops and clicks heard during DSD playback while using Bridge 2 and Roon are very darn annoying and disappointing. But I’m not giving up on the Bridge just yet. It’s my understanding that the Bridge uses an I2s connection internally, and was one of the selling features for me since…

I know that somewhere on the forum, the following question, has already been asked but can not find it (sorry). Is it possible to revert the firmware of the bridge 2 (DSJ) to the point before the popping started (i believe 3.4.5 was the first time )? MQA is not important to me, ROON an Redcloud is …

Hi Hanske, When do you hear the popping? There shouldn’t be any popping with the latest Bridge code and Redcloud.
