The developement for the first Diretta is quite challenging as it involves a lot of softwares and hardware to match with the audiophile standards. We are very delighed to release a very first Diretta Network Bridge which includes all our expertise and special requirement from different audiophiles, while we want to build them in affortable price. So that more audiophiles can get to try the advantage of using Diretta as network bridge.  This is just amazing good and improvement is huge when we tweak the parameter on Diretta setting.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/forums\/topic\/64028-the-development-of-afterdark-x-diretta\/\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInformation on Diretta\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca data-ipslightbox-group=\"g40429\" data-ipslightbox=\"\" data-fullurl=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_03\/image.jpeg.57c2474e13c3ab851fe60805268d93ff.jpeg\" href=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_03\/image.jpeg.57c2474e13c3ab851fe60805268d93ff.jpeg\" data-fileid=\"107349\" data-fileext=\"jpeg\" class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em;\"\u003e\u003cimg data-loaded=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_03\/image.thumb.jpeg.8aa31b3a9064e62f0e82b7e5c6aefc99.jpeg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_03\/image.thumb.jpeg.8aa31b3a9064e62f0e82b7e5c6aefc99.jpeg\" width=\"900\" data-ratio=\"67.56\" data-fileid=\"107349\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"image.thumb.jpeg.8aa31b3a9064e62f0e82b7e5c6aefc99.jpeg\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca data-ipslightbox-group=\"g40429\" data-ipslightbox=\"\" data-fullurl=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_03\/image.jpeg.02ea59d7c7c845a9e7ce7c751bebcae8.jpeg\" href=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_03\/image.jpeg.02ea59d7c7c845a9e7ce7c751bebcae8.jpeg\" data-fileid=\"107351\" data-fileext=\"jpeg\" class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\"\u003e\u003cimg data-loaded=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_03\/image.thumb.jpeg.4b2f3d5a6ed65f233df25e6d8ccf85a8.jpeg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_03\/image.thumb.jpeg.4b2f3d5a6ed65f233df25e6d8ccf85a8.jpeg\" width=\"900\" data-ratio=\"66.33\" data-fileid=\"107351\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"image.thumb.jpeg.4b2f3d5a6ed65f233df25e6d8ccf85a8.jpeg\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAfterDark.
