Just as I expected, if you need any kind of DSP jumpers for your R2R7 to perform, your sources (transportations) are tainted somehow ! I do not need any other Jumpers, and the sound ? All I can say is I2S is the best of R2R7, and hearing is believing.
I heavily recommend Direct I2S (Pinkfaun) if you can afford, Coax easily affordable, then....if you have no choices or options, USB
Your R2R-7 is capable of greatness! Please, do not Gimp it capability down by cheap transportation systems
Wow! Im jealous.. I have been considering a Pink Faun PCI-E for a while to replace my complicated USB Chain.
What version did you go with for the bridge attachment? I2S over HDMI LVDS?
my current R2R7 USB Chain is as follows, and I would really love to simplify it as DLNA sucks.

I noticed in your picture it says "WCLK Inverted" on the back or your card.
Did you order the "I2S over HDMI LVDS, left/right invert" or "I2S over HDMI LVDS"??
Just want to be sure for if I place an order for one.
Thanks.

Bypass is for the "high-exact" mode which means the reclocking circuit is narrowing/enlarging its pll's bandwidth. It's just for the i2s inputs. With a low quality signal, especially if you experience drops, it is recommended to install a jumper on "bypass". With the transport you have and any decent i2s transport, it's not required, unless brand-new and still not performing as it should.
From audio-gd:
For the HDMI or IIS input, if the sources or transmit cause the signal had not enough good, the sound had noise or distortion, push into the jumper for fixed the issue.(While USB and SPDIF inputs,this had not function )(If the source signal not good, may can not support up to 384KHz)
The BYPASS jumper controls lock range of the clock recovery on the I2S channels. BYPASS = Off is the tightest lock and best sound IMO. BYPASS = On is for higher jitter sources. My Gustard U12 HDMI I2S source would not work (dropouts) in the high bandwidth mode. Singxer SU-1 never fails.
"All inputs on the Audio GD M7 Singularity and R2R 7 DACs operate in "High Exact" clock recovery mode (very high bandwidth) for lowest jitter and best performance. On I2S inputs source clocking and cabling must be stable and sufficient quality for "High Exact" to operate reliably. If you experience audio dropouts or noise on HDMI or TTL I2S playback try placing a jumper on DSP BYPASS = On. This forces I2S inputs into a lower bandwidth/ wider lock window mode with only slight affect on sound quality. I2S input default has "High Exact" mode Enabled (BYPASS = Off). And the BYPASS jumper only impacts the I2S inputs.”

I tried Bypass On, and the trebles resolutions and layering are “glued” together, there was no definitive separations between different layer of trebles, it is slightly harsher in comparison
Bypass off and the trebles resolutions, layering are vividly separated like a layered cakes, extensions are flying with smoothness. The same as Bass, and even soundstage is deeper, wider.
Most importantly, my new PC has totally Killed those “glares, annoying hisses”, even if I tried looking for it LoL!
On another subject, Kingwa mentioned about the old M7 that it was good to give it a a good reset once in a while. With certain software, resource allocation performance can degrade over time, assuming for instance dynamic memory allocation is done during playback. I have taken this habit lately with the r2r 7. It seems to be useful. I do this once a week or once every two week, which means after 20-40 hours of playback, or when i feel the sound has become a little edgy. I reset the computer and the ddc at the same time. I turn the dac on first, then the ddc. With i2s sources, it is preferable to observe that order.

Performance will always vary because of high-frequency noise making its way though the power suppies and inducing jitter. Hence my interest for a power regenerator. i will certainly get one at some point, probably sooner than later.
