Bridge II card PS audio.

I'm in the market for a direct stream dac. My question concerns buying with or without the bridge II card.I already stream through a Blusound node and am satisfied with the sound.Anybody out there have input on weather the the Bridge II was an improvement over a blusound node.The Mcontrol app for controlling bridge II is pretty clunky compared to the blusound app. I just want any input people have experienced having listened to the Bridge II over their stand alone streamer under say 700.00   Marc.

Unfortunately I haven't streamed with a device under $700USD, so I can't comment on that compared to the Directstream.  However, I did give you information on the DAC after having used it for several years with Bridge. I was hoping you would find that information helpful.  In any regard, I wish you good luck in your quest for an answer.

I replaced my Node 2 streamer / DAC with a Direct Stream with Bridge..

The DS / Bridge was far superior.  I never thought to try the node as streamer into the DS.  I run roon, so the op systems did not matter, and not a fan of BluOS op system  anyway.  The advantage of DS with bridge is that it eliminates a power cord and an interconnect as well as a box.  I do not think you would miss the Node at all, and sellable as well.
