PS Audio Direct Stream Dac & Bridge 2 Sound quality

I have searched through the discussions page and cannot find much info about this combo. Some of the threads look to have been deleted. Which tells me this may be a hot topic and I don’t know why.

I like the sound of the Direct Steam dac especially with the Windom firmware, so, I though it would make sense adding the Bridge 2.

So, can anyone comment on the sound quality using this combo?

Thank you,

Ozzy based upon your system I would give it a try. PS audio does have a trial period and as Paul McGowan says no cable is better than any cable.I heard an improvement using the Bridge with a custom laptop I used only for music playback. Larry

Well I have a PS Bridge 2 on its way to me.
Is there any other free apps that can work with my PC?
At this point, I only want to compare sound quality with my current set up during the PS Bridge trial period.

Ozzy if you will be using a tablet or IPad to control everything you will probably want to download Mcconect and you will want the HD version .  Larry

Larry,

That's the thing, I don't own a tablet just a PC. My vision is not that great with small print.

@ozzy I think you made the right choice. With my perfectwave dac, adding the bridge made a huge improvement. I've since moved on, but the everyone convinced me never to use usb again. I think you'll be very happy.

And this probably doesn't help given the vision issues, but I use bubbleupnp on Android to serve lossless tidal (and my ripped music collection).
