That is very cheap! 5V power supply so no problem with that. Grab it will you can. You will have import duties of course but it will still be much cheaper than buying secondhand here.
Sorry 220v I meant 
but still decent at £480
There is no 220V in Europe anymore. It’s 230. You will need to pay VAT for importing it to UK too.

I got lucky when I got mine for £400. £480 + import duties is starting to get a little steep but they rarely come up on the secondhand market indicating that people must be happy with them (I am).

@Blackbird @badlyread thanks gents much appreciated
There are UK dealers selling the Bridge 2 at £725. If you have to pay £480 plus duty and VAT your landed price should be around £600 not a huge saving…

Yeah that’s what I was thinking cheapest I’ve seen is 725 might be a better bet
If that is Igloo Audio they didn’t actually have any when I enquired a few months ago and didn’t think they were getting any. A phone call will confirm though.

Buy a Primare NP5 MK2.
£500 new, or less for second hand on eBay.

Mine was just imported, no VAT, handling charges etc. Guess I was lucky. Paid less than £400 for a mint boxed model. Make sure it’s the newer (2) version.
Dealer is making me me a 7m QED Performance Audio 75 ohm RCA to BNC cable. He’s using an upgraded RCA connector, I forget which one he recommended. I’m hoping that will do the Limetree and NDS justice. It gets good reviews.
Cheap Mk1 version on the Bay (mk1 has a AKM chip and the mk2 ESS due to fire at AKM factory at the time). Mk2 does DSD and MQA if that’s your thing.
Has anyone stuck feet on their Limetree, or do you just lay it straight down?
I’ve tried different feet and still evaluate back and forth. Worst IMO is rubber feet/sorbothane and similar. Currently I use a single inverted spike which it “floats” on following Ansuz recommendations to always avoid rubber/soft feets. Cheap version of Nordost Sort solution.
Ansuz reply regarding feet (they have their own Darkz feet which I use under my Ansuz Powerswitch)
Never use soft materials like rubber underneath any component! Rubber will at first absorb the vibrations but split seconds later release the vibrations back to where they came from -out of phase and timing - you got resonances instead. And that is much worse than vibrations.
Funny enough when you mention Naim. Earlier on Naim never used rubber feet - they had their own hard (aluminium/steel?) feet. Unfortunately that has changed in recent years.

I don’t use DSD or MQA, as it’s feeding an ndac.
Very good it is too. Quality bit of kit at a bargain price. 
As far as I can tell Naim use hard feet when the stuff inside has some form of suspension. Cds2/3, Nds…etc.
No internal suspension equals rubber feet.
If I remember correctly, the 62 has a large slab of Sorbothane sandwiched between the underside of PCB and bottom of case. 
Yes seems like they made that conclusion. I cannot see the logic but I’m no expert. There seems to be two sides of this as with everything HIFI. I’ve evaluated both and seem to prefer hard mechanically isolated/grounded feet more than rubber feet. If you look at Nordost, Ansuz and many higher end feet manufacturers they tend to more often follow the hard feet path to reduce resonance and increase PRaT and timing.
If your limetree doesn’t have feet 
I’d suggest you return and ask for a refund.
Seriously. Using a bridge should be no more complicated than buying one, buying a better PSU than that supplied if not good quality, buy a decent spdif cable. Sit back and enjoy.

I stuck the supplied feet on. Does it make a difference? Who knows?! Stops it sliding about though.
