Perfect Wave DAC and Bridge

I installed the new Bridge into my DAC Saturday. It took about 10 minutes to get it installed and playing music. The sound is like nothing I've heard from digital or analog. The sound is so much more transparent, sweet, and more dynamic than the PWT, my Levinson Reference 31.5 and 30.6 DAC, or any analog rig I've heard, it's hard to believe. It has a sense of pace and rightness to the sound that sends tingles up the spine. And this was at Redbook resolution, when we moved up to 24/96, all I can say is you have to hear it to believe it! Got to go. More details soon.

My best results with settings using the bridge: auto and filter 1. Not sure why this combo sounds the best in my system, it just sounds right.

Do you mean Native and filter 1? ( this is how I like it)Or are you just referring to the filter being set to either Auto or Filter 1?

Yes I mean Native and filter 1. These settings just sound more real in my system. I believe the Bridge is still breaking in so I guess this could change.

Just got my Bridge working with Jrivers. I have the PWT as well. Having the Transport we have been enjoying the best I've heard in CD by a good margin. Hi rez CD's are off the chart great.

Now with Bridge and some hours behind configuration as I don't own an Apple product except for an IPOD, we're (family) formulating are own impression. I don't like commenting on equipment I haven't had many days with due to break-in reasons and just getting used to a "new" sound but I'll say this.

1. I'm no longer thinking about that new mega dollar Turntable I've always wanted.
2. I'm going over all my CD library and making sure I have a fully lossless file collection in FLAC and Aplle Lossless as there going to the garage.
3. I have an empty spot where the preamp was and the turntable was supposed to be.
4. Can 44.1 Khz really sound this damn great? I haven't listened to a hi rez cut yet, and not anxious too!
5. Where do we go from here? I guess an IPAD 2 for a better remote.

I'll comment on difference's when I can tear myself away from just simply enjoying the music.
