I have the Bridge, but stopped using it because I can't stand Elyric and JRiver to the Bridge won't support gapless. (I've written off the Bridge a defective product considering all the difficulties I've had with it.) Also, I find the tonal balance from the Bridge brighter, which is not to my preference.
But transports do make a notable difference. A friend of mind is using an old school Denon player which weighs five tons. I'm using the Empirical OR5 via HDMI I2S for computer USB conversion. I tried Audiophileo, but it didn't do anything and probably made things slightly worse (the PWD2 actually has a decent XMOS USB implementation.)
