Perfect Wave DAC and Bridge

DeSalvo-
That iPad makes a darn BIG remote. I got one and returned it for the smaller and much less expensive iPod touch. But truly I hate that interface (tag-n-cuss err I mean tag-n-play) and MUCH prefer to use JRiver via the PC. Much much much prefer it. YMMV

Go to HD Tracks and download an album or two. You'll be amazed. Band On The Run is incredible!

Srwooten - I'll give it a download. Got more than a few from HD Tracks.

Wish I can find a way to scrape the bits off the Neil Young 176Khz DVD's and Blu-ray discs I have!

Now I have to think about that remote...

Desalvo55 - You might want to check out DVD Audio Extractor which allows you to extract high res digital audio from DVDs and DVD-A discs. It extracts the digital audio into WAV files, and even has a fully functional 30 day free trial. Sorry I can't help you with the Blu-Ray discs.

I second Bills' response. I use the same program with excellent results.

I hope the fans of the dac and bridge can help me understand something. I've followed the progress of the Bridge on PSAs site for a long time. It seems to me that most users are pretty pleased with the sound, but a lot of them are unhappy with the ease of use. Network freezes, inability of the network to find devices and store settings, and an unpolished software interface seem to be common concerns. So to me, it looks like the Bridge has a long way to go before it lives up to it's promise, and from purely a sound quality standpoint, I wonder if it is any better than other very low jitter hardware plus good player software like Pure Music. I am not knocking PSA here. I am very interested in the PWD and Bridge as a more refined and convenient alternative to my Mini/Pure Music/iTunes/DAC approach. So to my question -- are the proponents of the Bridge speaking of sound quality only or the entire user experience?
