| Review: USB Disruptor and "DaBigGenius" No 5 volt Alan, you've posted this several times, that USB Disruptor does not work for you. However, in an email you wrote to me dated December 22, 2015 you say the following: A combination that sounds very nice is USB cable from computer to a Regen feedi... | |
| Audio grade USB cables My engineering advisor says "The whole point of differential communications schemes is immunity to common-mode noise."He also says you're right about ground loops, but that is "one of the most tangled webs you can weave in electrical engineering."... | |
| Streaming Audio Questions First, welcome back to HiFi! We've been busy trying to figure out how to get the best sound out of the new high rez material on the market, and streaming too.You need to be excited because the outcome of years of work have yielded some incredible... | |
| Audio grade USB cables Hi, would common mode (CM) noise show up on a scope? We did readings between using a certified USB 2.0 cable and the same cable with the USB Disruptor connected. The readings displayed the 5khz tones and we didn't see anything problematic. We ... | |
| Audio grade USB cables Thanks Williewonka. If it sounded better without the extra cable, no matter what type of cable, then it could be a shielding problem. The connector would have to maintain the shielding and maybe it's not as good at doing that as a properly const... | |
| Audio grade USB cables Jaybe, check out this part of my site for some answers to your questions: http://usbdisruptor.com/how-usb-disruptor-works/ The Jitterbug may be filtering something out because I heard it on a very resolving system with USB Disruptor and it cause... | |
| Audio grade USB cables Williewonka, the operating principles of USB Disruptor would suggest that the type of USB cable from the computer into the Disruptor would not matter, so long as it's a certified USB 2.0 cable. I tried testing it with a range of USB cables and I ... | |
| Audio grade USB cables FYI, USB Disruptor is $49 and made by me in USA. So we're already less expensive than the Doukmall cable, and it's from USA! | |
| Audio grade USB cables I have the Audiophilleo with PurePower and run the USB Disruptor there too. The difference is the same, dirty USB power infects that product too. I think the dirty power is composed of super high frequency noise that is able to travel on the sur... | |
| Audio grade USB cables Audiobb, I think in that scenario USB Disruptor would not be needed at all. The power would come from the DAC itself, just a 5 volt lead. And The DAC maker could leave the 5 volt pin off the USB connector on the DAC to guarantee dirty USB power ca... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? You need clean power for digital to sound right. If you implement digital properly it will sound like vinyl - I know exactly what you mean by the soul of music, it's about the right timing. With digital you can go beyond vinyl to get a spectral so... | |
| Simple question, best sounding inexpensive DAC. You should buy any DAC with a Wolfson or Sabre DAC chip.I know you don't use computer audio but I do and I even lean toward USB powered DACs because I bypass the power, and those are generally inexpensive, and since they don't plug into the wall y... | |
| USB printer cable VS USB audiophile grade cable? It's caused by dirty USB power. It actually adds signal to your music. The Furutech cable is well engineered and rejects some of this electromagnetic interference, which is from your computer. Think about it, there are millions of circuits inside ... | |

| Audio grade USB cables Mapman, I tried a lot of USB cables while testing and they all sound equally bad running direct from the usb output port. When you disrupt the computer's 5 volt USB power line in many cases you get a really big improvement. And this improvement wa... |
