I described USB as the simplest connection for computers and DACs in yesterday’s post. Still, we can get there without much pain. But, as we’ve come to know in these posts, nothing’s perfect and there’s no free lunch worth eating. There’s nothing better than Ethernet for isolation and sound quality.

Its chief benefits of one touch play and placement freedom are overshadowed by perhaps it’s biggest advantage: better isolation than USB, I2S, coax or AESEBU for connected music sources. The Bridge connects home networks with DirectStream and PerfectWave DACs. We released Bridge II today, and you can read about it here. I just noticed today’s the last day of July and it saddens me. I so adore summers in Colorado I am reminded to enjoy what’s left! Hope you’re having a good summer as well.
