On USB an isolator is clearly beneficial. I use an Intona USB Isolator. My DAC initially wouldnât be recognisable to the server when inserting the Isolator. Intona suggested to use an usb hub and I never looked back.
Ideal Connection path to a dac?
Right now I use a desktop for Roon. Desktop is connected to internet via Ethernet cable from a router. An Ethernet cable connects router to a blueprint node 2i and then to a chord dac via optical cable. And than I use rca cables from dac to a preamp.
is there an advantage of getting the Roon nucleus device and not using a desktop, and then dumping the bluesound node? I like idea of direct usb connection between Roon nucleus and chord dac.
