DirectStream: Bridge or USB connection?

Hi all,

I'm completely new to computer-based audio. I just bought a DirectStream, and I'm wondering if we get better sound by using the bridge or by connecting the unit directly to a computer using a good USB cable?

Thanks in advance,

Computers are for ripping, editing and tagging.

And bad sound.

Bridges (players) are for playing, especially local. Paul don't believe in that.

I have a Directstream DAC w/Bridge II.  I prefer USB over the bridge connection.

That must mean better than because the bridge don't do USB.  And for what they want for it you can get a Rasp Pi, iFi Elite power and  a Matrix DDC that you can play USB and take with you.
