Thanks a lot again and very very interesting.
I just wonder if this issue of the poor usb transimission was already known because this device seems the first to address it.
I saw a lot of usb power isolation devices, but this is the first regenerator. I guess many will follow soon.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,

USB Repeaters and active USB Cables have been long used outside audio (and by some within).
The first specifically High End Audio targeted use of a USB Hub Chip to re-drive the USB Signal (IIRC) was/is the Shiit Wyred.
That is unless we count the AMR CAS Setup, which was "dealer only - not for resale" Job (sold at our cost to our Partners - as most dealers/distributors of ours were unwilling to set up PC's for this themselves) and meant to demo AMR's DP-777 DAC.
This included a (commercial) active USB Cable, which we found to provide a material improvements over passive cables, but for a number of reasons we did not commercialise that system at the time for High End Audio. With hindsight perhaps a lost opportunity.

Well, I guess they all follow the Shiit Wyred, or the Belkin active USB Cable we used at AMR...
Ciao T
At 20 bits, you are on the verge of dynamic range covering fly-farts-at-20-feet to untolerable pain. Really, what more could we need?
" Did you happen to read the article I referenced? "
i see. It was well known but maybe considered not important.
Now i see some agreement that is indeed important.
So i expect other devices addressing the issue soon on the market

well i understand that audio high end is a niche.
And pro users probably they just listen for major drops or issues.

Probably i just got carried away by the prose used in the reviews.
Sometimes they exaggerate about the actual improvements.
Thanks again for the valuable advice.
