I started using an Auralic Aries and if you see the price difference between the Bridge II ($899) and the Aries ($999), I would forget the bridge. Get the Aries, connect a USB hard drive to it and you will have an easier to use and way more stable music streamer than the bridge will ever be.

The NAS is indeed to eliminate the computer out of the equation. Ethernet is still the most stable connection, especially when streaming high res files.

Just to explain, I am not an audiophile that looks for ultimate detail and improvement of my system. I choose a lot of times convenience over SQ improvement.   the way my system sounds now is how I like it and from an audiophile point of view I can improve a lot still. I could afford to do...

with a bridge II I would use the ethernet input with a NAS drive.   If playing CDs or using a different music streamer like Sonos or Auralic Aries I would use S/PDIF (optical or COAX)   When using a PS Audio Transport I would use the i2s input.   I have not critically listened to the...

I should get paid by PS Audio, all that advertising for free... lol

the advantage of using a Bridge is that you can skip the computer all together and stream directly from a NAS drive on your network.   That way you let the PWD do all the work and don't have to have a computer on to play music. Also, the PWD is a lot better at doing all that stuff than a...

I think it is mostly personal preference.   'Experts' say that under 2 meters COAX (Digital RCA) is best and over 2 meters optical is best.   I used a PS Audio transport to a PWD with the i2s connection.   TO be honest though, I don't think my setup isn't revealing enough to really hear a...

If you're in the USA, I'll take it!

karmanfamily     I'd love to see audio cables or maybe lower priced tube integrated amps.

Did the same thing before, sold the M51 and bought one back 2 months later. Smoothest DAC I've heard to date.

Up for sale is an Amazing Sounding and Great Looking Audeze LCD-3 (pre Fazor).   The headphones look flawless except for 3 tiny marks on the inside of the headband. They have been used sparingly by the original owner and I only put about 10 hours on them.   The pictures I added aren't the...

Up for sale or trade is a Perfect Condition Cardas Clear cable for Audeze and Sennheiser headphones.   It is 10ft/3m long and is terminated with a 1/4" headphone jack. Invoice can be provided for warranty purposes.   I am selling it, because I can't justify a cable this expensive for the...

Check his feedback and description... And at $750 shipped with all accessories and box?   Why wait for the pics?   IS trading an option?

Is this the 192kHz version?

Up for sale is a CD Transport that will perform way above its price, simply amazing!   A Bel Canto CD3t!   It is Black, looks as new and works as it should. The black is a satin like finish. The box says Silver, so I am not 100% sure it is factory a black one. If it has been painted, it has...
