The Lindemann Limetree Bridge II is a network bridge, sometimes referred to as a streaming transport. It plays music files from streaming services, any attached storage on your home network or connected directly into its USB socket and Bluetooth sources. Just add a quality DAC and off you go.
The vast majority of music streamers on the market include a DAC, of course, but the Limetree Bridge II’s lack of such a circuit may not be the issue it initially appears to be. We’ve come to the point in hi-fi where it isn’t unusual for a DAC module to be included in a stereo amplifier or a CD player to have digital inputs.
