Tell me how the Bridge II Network Card works. Does it convert Ethernet to USB, then to i2s?
According to the PSA, the Bridge II converts the network-fed music to i2s acceptable to a DAC. It appears the Bridge II also has a Digital Lens built into its output. The Digital Lens reduces jitter in network audio to nearly imperceptible levels.

In order to do USB to i2s, you need a Matrix Audio X-SPDIF 2 (I am using it now).

And what is better in quality? Ethernet or USB? Many people directly praise ethernet and they say this is wow super know-how, is there any common sense in this?

The Bridge II is nice with just a decent Ethernet cable but the additional accessories can get pricey. I finally got an Auralic Aries G2.1 streamer to replace the Bridge II but the Bridge II was a good sounding system.
