FOR
Supports PCM and DSD resolution of all kinds, timing and timbral accuracy
AGAINST
No front panel display, not exactly cheap
Computer audio has come a long way since the days of MP3 and it’s products like the Lindemann network Bridge that cements our belief that not all digital music is evil. Inconspicuous in a big system due to its diminutive dimensions, the Limetree Bridge can easily be mistaken as an external power supply or a computer DAC but it’s meticulously designed on the inside and extremely well made on the outside. With high-quality DACs for its stereo outputs and resampling along with a MEMS FemtoClock to keep jitter down to immeasurable levels, it plays a crucial role in between your music server and your existing DAC.
The Limetree Bridge makes it easier to integrate into a slightly older system without support for USB DACs. The front panel of the unit itself is sparse, with just a toggle switch that powers it on/off or switches between PCM or DSD modes if you long-hold it. An accompanying LED glows in different colours to depict the output format of the signal and is quite pointless unless you memorize what the sampling rate for each corresponding colour is. This can definitely be worked on for other iterations, but having said that, most users will just refer to the handy app to get their information anyway.
