using a UPnP protocol and separately available controller and server, such as a
NAS.
The Network Bridge II incorporates the exact same Digital Lens™ technology
found in the PWT – without the input to the Lens being from a nearby source.
Instead, the input to the internal Lens of the Bridge II is over a network: addressable
through an Ethernet connection. Music stored on a hard drive or even an Internet
radio service are all accessible via the Network Bridge II.
Bridge II Operation
The PS Audio Network Bridge II is built into DirectStream Junior. The Bridge
provides network connectivity to a media server or NAS. The Network Bridge is a
UPnP compatible device, requiring a UPnP server and controller to stream to the
Bridge. A program like JRiver Media Center, available on both Mac and Windows
platforms, can be congured to act as both a UPnP server and Controller. Many
NAS come with UPnP servers built into their operating systems. If you use a NAS,
you will control the NAS and Bridge through the use of a UPnP controller, typically
via a mobile device, such as a tablet or phone, that have a UPnP compatible
controller app, such as PlugPlayer, or MConnect.
To use the Bridge the rear panel Ethernet connector must be plugged into your
home router through a CAT5 Ethernet cable. A WIFI Ethernet Bridge can be
used, but is not recommended. Once connected, the Bridge should be visible
on the network, to a controller that is also on the home network via WIFI or hard
wired through CAT 5. Select the PS Audio Bridge, or whatever friendly name you
