I own both the Halide Bridge and the W4S DAC2. Hands down the DAC2 sounds more open and uncongested with its built in USB vs the Halide Bridge.
That being said, I am using Stello U3 between my music server PC and a DAC which has no USB input.
As many will state, there are many steps from the binary file data and what comes out your speaker/headphone. All these steps make a difference in some way. Finding the bottleneck step in your system is the place to start.
If you have a favorite sounding DAC, then getting a "better" USB converter to access files that your old one won't use might help. The new USB systems in general are all worlds above the ubiquitous USB1 system. If you are ready to change DACs, then its easy to find good ones in most price categories containing a good enough USB.
