The only other sub $1k async "plug n play~driver/software-less" USB converter product that I'm aware of is Gordons $900 Proton that's going for ~$700 now on agon. Unable to find info on the release of the Wavelink I will probably give the Bridge a try here soon(obviously Gordon has chosen to sell Streamlength to others before developing his own lower priced stuff.) The Musiland 02US that uses software makes a noticable improvement all around, to me, especially in the lower freqs, if somewhat buggy at times when switching between foobar and an online streamer like Grooveshark or Last.fm.
Not really sure about the reclock stuff Dusty. I guess it would depend somewhat if your dac has a good clock etc. to begin with. I agree totally with the implementation being key to good sound. I think sorta along the same lines as Gordon in that the computer is the "source of the source/dac" if you will. In my limited dabblings and experiments I've found that async makes an improvement for me, even though the Musiland has worse timing error readings on the digital lens than a cheap Marantz DV6500 CD player(and it sounds better even without the lens reclocking the signal.)
