Early Christmas

The process of getting MQA and Tidal onto the Bridge took so long I turned another year older. More gray hair. Fewer brain cells. Patience has never been one of my virtues. But, here we are. All Bridge II owners can now update to the latest Bridge OS for free and get full MQA unfolding (up to 192kHz 24 bit) and access to Tidal. Couple of things to note. Bridge updates are via the front panel of either the DirectStream, DirectStream Junior or PWD. Go here for a How To if you're not familiar with the process. It's really quite simple. To use Tidal you'll need a subscription as well as the paid MConnect app ($6) installed on your mobile device from the iTunes store or Google Play. Bridge II works with DirectStream, DirectStream Junior (built in), and The PerfectWave DAC. If you have either DirectStream DACs, Huron OS is required. This is a free update and if you've not yet made the change, you're missing out on some great sound in addition to the feature updates available for Bridge II owners. If you're unfamiliar with the DAC upgrade process it's explained in this How To. If you have a PWD you'll need to install 3.03 which can be downloaded for free here. If you're not familiar with the PWD upgrade process, you can review this How To. Bottom line, Bridge II owners are now Roon, MQA, and Tidal ready. All free, from your friends at PS Audio. Enjoy.
