Topic: USB direct or network bridge?
I will by purchasing an Adi 2 Dac once units are again available in the UK. Not sure what the current delay is but none of the suppliers have any in stock.
I have some questions about the best way to connect the Adi 2 to my system via USB. I run Roon Rock on a Nuc computer. On the basis of advice from Roon that it is best not to connect the dac direct to the nuc computer, I use an Allo Usbridge (running Dietpi) which acts as a Roon endpoint. Thus the dac receives its data via ethernet and through the usbridge avoiding the potential for electrical noise which might be a problem if connected to the nuc directly. I have two questions:
1. Will the Adi 2 work connected to the usbridge?
2. I understand that the Adi 2 is good at filtering out usb noise, so is the usbridge necessary or can I expect direct connection to the nuc to work just as well?
