The bridge function will be handled by the new Octave/Music server strategy - I don’t know the details. The display/control process will be much more powerful than the current bridge and will be able handle the streaming functions, there will be an Ethernet jack/connection to the control processor and I2S from the control processor to the FPGA with plenty of bandwidth. Bridge like functions will be implemented in software and or externally with, say a music server. I just wanted to keep the bridge hardware/software stuff away from the guts of the digital box and make sure that it’s use is optional (and the hardware can be powered down when not used) for those that don’t want to use it. Beyond that PS Audio will be designing it.
