I read the Bridge I did have some issues. So far, 3 hours in I have not experienced a single hiccup on the Bridge II. I am just using an old LG Nexus phone because you can only get Tidal with BubbleUpnp (sp?) app on Android, not available on iOS devices. I installed the app and clicked on a couple of menus and it all just shows up and works seamlessly, just like PS Audio shows on their website. I believe you can pick up an Android tablet for $50 to $75 used or $100 new. I just gave me Kindle Fire to my father last month because I never used it, oh well. I would prefer a table to more easily view and navigate, however, the little phone works fine for now.
PS Audio DirectStream with Bridge II - FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!
I am new to this hi end game of sound and have been researching products for over a year and a half and I finally started buying up equipment last month. I recently acquired a PS Audio DirectStream DAC and was really enjoying the sound with my cd collection. I started looking at music servers for casual listening. I love Tidal because there is so much music to discover. I looked at the Sony, Aurender, Naim, on and on. Then I did more reading and realized I could buy a Bridge II from PS Audio to stream Tidal and other services. I received the Bridge yesterday from The Music Room in Colorado (another great company btw) and proceeded to install it in my DAC. Once I installed the bridge I followed the directions on the PS Audio website about how to stream Tidal and within a minute I was up and running. All I can say is this stuff is FREAKIN' AWESOME. The album art appears on the front of the DAC, a little added bonus, but it was so easy to setup and control. I am in not affiliated with either PS Audio or The Music Room, however, I wanted to share my excellent experiences with the rest of you A-goners. You may all already know about this equipment but in case there are any other newbs out there like me I thought I would share my little adventure.
