You could connect 2 different sounding streaming bridges to the ND555. Choose the one that best suits the style of music you want to play. ---

Just exploring options right now - I like options! 😉 The ND555 stand-alone playing music just now worked very well, so it is all ‘in there’ detail and music weave stuff is there. Also - and this I’m not sure about at all - some of the effects are so like bad ‘run-in’ of some expensive cables that are rubbish for a couple of weeks or more then suddenly all the shrill mess clears-away and they are great. I like to be hopeful but not counting on this - I like hope too! 🐻 DB. ---

You just connect spdif out to spdif in. You don’t need to use USB. ---

I’m using a Naim cable that does BNC-to RCA on the Pulse. As the date is sent to the DAC and it gets its termination there and the BNC does that better - that is what I did. You only really need the termination at the receive end - nice to have at send too, but at the DAC gives cleaner connection, fewer transmission line mismatch relections and the noise from that. ---

Darkbear is free to buy a streaming bridge that does have spdif. Most do. ![Screenshot_2024-12-21-23-06-31-544](https://d2ikyu8xyuibjx.cloudfront.net/original/4X/2/e/c/2ecb0593da764b7d0993e64689ada80d3026fa19.jpeg) ---

Pulse and pulse mini does have that. Zenith has only usb out. But it’s not a streaming bridge. ---

No - I am not - sad to say, but not happy as hoped. Still a bit harsh and shouty Instruments sound unnatural - strings for example are too bright ---

The Pulse + DAVE is stunning, I’ve not heard digital playback sound so good. I hope at some point the Naim streaming side of things improve. I love music on a daily basis at least 3 hours a day, my medicine, to starve one of this is criminal with the amounts people have invested. ---
