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,

I'm pretty sure it will be connecting to the computer via USB.
However good the Bridge is, I don't believe it will beat a direct hardwired connection.

Congrats on your purchase. The DirectStream is an amazing DAC. It has way more resolution than any other DAC I've tried as well as a detailed but not etched or fatiguing presentation. Make sure the Pike's Peak firmware is installed.
