MYTEK BROOKLYN BRIDGE II ROON CORE 4TB - All-In-One - Roon Core Streamer / DAC / Headphone Amp / Phono / Preamp

Brooklyn Bridge II (BB2) is a major redesign of our best selling original Brooklyn Bridge (BB1). The BB1 has been very successful, receiving the Stereophile Product of the Year and EISA award in 2019-2020 for its innovative, beautiful design and sound. The BB2 has the same award winning preamp and DAC circuits, but now also features a 90W linear power supply. In addition it features next generation, smartphone/tablet accessible touch screen menu and a complete computer system bringing the 21st century Iphone like operation. BB2 has a built in Intel I5 Roon Core computer combined with Mytek OS for easy touch screen operation from an ipad, smart phone or front panel screen.  BB2 is a complete all in one Roon system and designed to be used primarily with Roon playback software. In addition it will provide similar functionality to the original Brooklyn Bridge (Upnp and Roon End Point) and more (Bluetooth, DSP etc). You can think of BB1 functionality being a subset of BB2. BB2 has the functionality of BB1 plus Roon Core computer, touch screen, toroidal linear power supply. Because the computer will be continuously updated over the life of the product, a lot of new functionality will be added, including new streaming and DSP options, file management etc., which are not possible nor intended for the BB1. The DAC and analog section is the same in both products, but because BB2 has the linear regulated power supply, it subjectively sounds about 20% better than the BB1.  Using Roon with BB2 requires Roon subscription. A free 1 year subscription is included in the purchase. Roon provides superior playback and browsing experience, especially with metadata (lyrics, credits, just like a vinyl album covers), not available with other playback software and preferred by thousands of music lovers. Roon also provides more options such as advanced playlist management, multiroom playback and ARC which turns your local library into your own, private streaming service. Roon will play any format including DSD256 and 384k PCM, while other software is limited to max PCM 192k.
If you don't want to use Roon, nor Bluetooth and upgradable future functionality, and are happy with standard Tidal, Qobuz or Spotify playback interface which uses Upnp for simple playback, you should consider instead buying the Brooklyn Bridge Original.
BUILT IN ROON CORE i5 (11th Gen) Intel CPU - (more powerful than the Nucleus+) POWERED BY ROON OS: Brooklyn Bridge has all functionality of a Roon Core CPU combined with high performance DAC. Roon Software can be operated from Roon Remote App or from Mytek Web Interface from any device connected to the network. Bridge can function as a multiroom playback machine playing to different Roon end points.
