Does anyone have an opinion about the new P S Audio Bridge 2 ?


I was interested in buying a Bridge 2.  Have you bought this item ?  What are your thoughts about the item ?

For the average audiophile user PS Audio is doing a lousy job on their web (and support site) in helping their customers setting up the Bridge. Install and forget per their little video? Don't think so! I have the Bridge I and apparently it has some issues with DHCP so I need to set it the IP address manually - no sweat - I am used to do that but that is nowhere mentioned in any documentation, wasted time in try and error as I take for granted that modern devices do DHCP w/o a hitch.

The Bridge is sourced from another company and networking is apparently new to PS Audio so they learn as we stumble along the way.
jwt, thanks for your experience with Mojo Audio. The dedicated PS must have made a big impact. I would have a go at Mojo but internal and good (digital) volume control in a DAC is a must for me. I am also sticking with PSA as I am sure software updates by the designer Ted will keep on improving the sound quality. 

PSA DSD with the bridge trumps IME the setup Logitech Touch with dedicated lin PS + USB Regen (def a step up vs no Regen). FWIW, I could not get BubbleUPnP on Android to work with Synology NAS out of the box for DSD files (no issues at all with Logitech Media Server but LMS didnt support DSD format) and have to install Java 8 SE + MinimServer on the NAS.
