Worth upgrading from Mytek Brooklyn to Mytek Brooklyn Bridge?


I’ve have had my Brooklyn DAC+ for about 18 months now and in my system it sounds fantastic. I run Roon server on a Mac Mini, the Brooklyn is a Roon endpoint and I run the Roon Control code on an iPad. It all works very nicely together. I have a Curious USB cable connecting the MM to the Brooklyn. The sound is very well balanced and beautifully layered. I am very happy with the sound and with the experience.

I’m considering upgrading my Brooklyn DAC+ to a Brooklyn Bridge because I would like to get the computer out of my listening room. I also understand that an Ethernet connection would be superior to the USB connection I use today. I have heard this said but I have not heard it for myself and my dealer is not in a position to help me.

Has anyone done this? Would you be willing to share your experience? What were the benefits? Was there any downside? It’s not a terribly expensive upgrade but I would like it to be worth the effort.

Any insight you could provide would be appreciated.

@edcyn I'm also seriously considering the Brooklyn Bridge. How are you liking it so far? Does it really lean toward the bright side of things?
arafiq -- The Brooklyn Bridge is now pretty much my preamp.  In addition to the streaming, the CD player and the vinyl now go through it.  I did, though, follow a suggestion in the BB's instructions and now bypass the BB's level controls.  I now once again strictly use my integrated amp's volume control.  Yeah, it may be a pain to have to get out of my easy chair to adjust the volume (ugh and a half!) but the suggestion does give me a touch more three-dimensionality and life.
As to your question, with this change I now do occasionally get a hair of brightness from the BB but this brightness only comes when streaming.  In other words, it is strictly source dependent.  Qobuz can occasionally overcook things, but Primephonic has never sounded so good.  In any case, the rest of my system is on the mellow side so essentially the BB just gives me more life. 

Bottom line, your mileage may vary but I'm sitting pretty.  I'm now out of the component upgrade game.
@edcyn -- thank you for the detailed response. Since I will be streaming 90% of the time using Qobuz, brightness is definitely a concern. I guess I'm more sensitive to brightness than most. But it's good to know that you have found something you really like. Always a good place to be in.
