Anything our friend does cannot be taken too seriously. People over on CA have been using this cable and "HEARING" positive results.

Ever heard of an audio accessories not having positive results on CA?
I'm most of all wondering how the Corning works.
It requires a self-powered device.
Ok, don't connect the power pins at the receiver side and you have the receiver isolated from the PC as far as the power is concerned.
But how does the PC detect the device?
I understand this is because some current is flowing.
But if one don't connect the power this is not the case.
It is optical (laser)
This laser is powered by the PC over the power lines of the USB.
This I can understand.
However there is a second circuit, the one after the laser, converting optical back to "USB"
How is this circuit powered?
Again by the PC? If so it is not isolated.
Powered by the receiver?
Anyone knows?

Looks like that's the case and no, I don't thing absolute 'isolation' is the design goal here, it appears to be signal/data integrity over long distances(30M).

It is an extender indeed. You won't hear Corning talking audio.
Compared with offerings by Gefen, Adnaco and Icron at an affordable price.
If I understand the documentation correctly both sender and receiver are powered by the PC but there is some power present at the receiver side.
I'm not sure if this is really needed for the device enumeration

Hey, that's pretty funny :)
I must admit that the usual "buzz" over at CA led to my ordering the Uptone USB Regen device sight unheard.. (hope it comes soon)
You will not regret your purchase. A real positive impact on sonics.
