Dear dCS Customer After months of software development and testing we have had to change course on the roadmap for our Network Bridge. Although we had promising results early in our development cycle our engineering team could not get the USB audio output function to meet our performance standards. As a result we have decided that we cannot release a feature which we know is compromised. We are truly sorry for any disappointment that this decision may cause our existing loyal Network Bridge customers and want to assure you that it was not one reached lightly. We invested a significant amount of time and resource into enabling this feature and explored every possible avenue to achieve our performance requirements. Sadly, there comes a point when development efforts no longer make business sense due to their impact on other major product improvements and enhancements. In Spring 2018 we enabled MQA unfold on the Network Bridge and on July 1, 2018 we kicked off a project to enhance the user experience of our network streaming platform which will greatly enhance the usability of the Network Bridge. This project will generate multiple software releases for our entire product line as we refine the stability, performance, and feature set of our streaming offerings We thank you for your continued support. The dCS TeamHere after you would find my personnal view on this topic. I can understand the constraints, the efforts and budget spent on this topic of the USB Audio. But as other customers not owning dCS DAC and looking for this USB Audio output, let’s say that i am really frustrated. Since the beginning it was clear with dCS that the USB Audio output was a key feature. dCS communicated widely on this topic, directly or through the distribution network. Till august there was no alert on any risk concerning this function and at least for me, i have few emails of dCS leaders saying that it will come and i can invest in this product : just a question of time (emails are still in my mailbox) and you can read an interesting one just below. After that let me know if you can still trust people in audio market 🙂

Addition of the testimony of the dCS management that USB Audio would be available soon and i can buy one.
