He's going to have to sell his new DAC just to pay for all the USB doodads!

Thankfully all the doodads are not that expensive. I will take a pass on this device
Poor Alan
so he can afford a 'few' doodads. ;-)But poor Alan really ought to try a Lifatec glass TOSLINK cable from his MacBook Pro to his Master 7.
Oh, poor Ivan ordered a Master 7 last week so he will soon have TWELVE PCM1704K-U DAC chips making music in his house.
That's nearly $1,000 worth of silicon at TI's inflated R2-R Ladder DAC chip pricing.
Reason being I have my headphone setup on one floor (my easy chair), which was the original plan for the Master 11, and the main system on another level with the TT, 3000 LP's and (sadly) the wife's TV.
But the Master 11 is such a great DAC it ends up being used with the main system nearly every day what with the new audiophile approved MacMini in the house. I am tired of moving the near-30 lb. Master 11 up and down the stairs every day, especially with the all of the requisit USB accessories in tow.
I will be using Mac Mini/USB/REGEN with the main system while MacBook Air/Airplay/Airport Express/TOSLINK to the Master 11 will be for headphone play only.
But not a problem because it's pretty much two great DACs and a great balanced headphone amp for the price of one great DAC otherwise.

Oh come on now. It's only $299 and some say the more the merrier.
Try the UpTone USB REGEN, W4S Recovery, iFi iUSB 3.0, AND the LightSpeed Revive... ALL in series. Try different combos. And don't forget the AQ Jitterbug in those unused ports just for good measure. ;-)
Heck, for a mere ~$1100 you can have the best sounding least jittery USB interface on the planet. ;-)

That is until the next new and improved doohickey comes out! ;-)

You guys are forgetting the Intona galvanic isolator. It made the biggest improvement in the sound of the USB chain. Also the Melodious usb converter is very good

They are just all jealous because while some are enjoying improving their Universal Serial Bus...
They are stuck riding their Big Yellow School Bus!!!
What were thing like on the short bus? Did they have seat belts there?
