However, if for any reason you wish to use your previous DAC, or if you ‘interested in comparing both devices, such an option is also possible in this streamer. Below is a guide outlining the steps to stream music from Brooklyn Bridge using an external digital-to-analog converter.Connect external DAC using USB cable and plug it into Brooklyn Bridge’s USB 3.0 port. Make sure that both devices are turned on.

Remember, if you want to stream music from the BBII using an external DAC, Brooklyn Bridge must be set in the default ‘built-in Roon Core’ mode. If you previously switched the function to External Roon Core, you will need to revert to the previous mode using the instructions in paragraph 5.
