That was one of the aspects that sold me on the Directstream DAC in the first place... I had never heard my MP3s sound that tangible and convincingly real! It was such an obvious improvement over my previous gear, and I wasn’t able to find anything better at the local stores.

Happy to read other new DirectStream owners are as pleased as I am.

Bridge II Ordered today
I have been listening to the DS DAC now for a little over a month and have been very happy. I listen now mostly to tidal so the next thing for me to day was order a Bridge II to get the full unfold of MQA as well as the improvement in sound which is supposed to sound better than via USB. The downside I am told as I understand is the bridge may or may not play DSD 128 (I might be wrong) however I can always play those files via the USB input if needed. |

Bridge does dsd64. I don’t have the bridge and don’t stream but I did purchase a little gizmo called a matrix which really does a great job converting usb to I2s.
Big thread under tweaks and accessories in the ps Audio forum. |

The Bridge II sounds so good that for the odd higher res DXD and DSD2x, I don't even bother.
You could probably get as good results with a custom low noise CAPS (computer audiophile server with a good USB cable and linear power supplies) but the idea of maintaining a PC just for the few higher res audio (>24/192 and DSD1x) didn't seem worth the hassle just to hear the higher res.
