Hi,
Yeah, all "senders" are USB powered as I understand it. The "receiver" needs to be powered with an AC/DC converter. The thing that you bought might work on your audio rack, or from Direct CAT 5/6 etc.
Just don't connect this to your LAN... As it does not do TCP/IP...

Hi again !" Hi, Yeah, all "senders" are USB powered as I understand it "
i have found a pair where they are both externally powered. I wonder if this is the only way to get complete isolation from the pc." The "receiver" needs to be powered with an AC/DC converter.

Just don't connect this to your LAN... As it does not do TCP/IP... "i did not do that for sure.
I do not want to destroy anything if possible.
And thanks again for the helpful advice.
Kind regards,

If it doesn't say "LAN, gigabit" anywhere on the device, - chances are that it's not an ASIC device that converts the signal to TCP/IP, and then converts that back to USB.
Any device cheaper than $500 is likely NOT going to do the above, and likely not going to give you complete isolation. In order to provide that kind of isolation, the device must strip away the USB power, convert the USB signal to a different protocol, - then convert it back, (thereby generating a "new" USB signal).

Hi and thanks again. Message received.
Only the more complex and then expensive devices give what needed.
I will stick with usb then and some sort of isolation.
No more cheap boxes.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,

Cheers....
I don't know how much PSAudio will "re-engineeer" the boxes by StarTech, but I suspect that the "LanRover" will not be cheaper....

Very likely but if it is really that good ...
What is amazing is that today is possible to find good 2nd laptop for 150 USD ... with the addition of a nice little SSD and SW the source is almost ready. And also extremely flexible and reliable.
However the Usb connection can be a problem.
When i read about the importance of the cable, the impact of the length, the need of isolation and reclocking ... i really start to doubt that it is the right standard for the purpose.
But i am not an expert.
Kind regards.

I totally agree with you.....
My Universal Player only has a SPDIF/COAX input and I love its sound and can't afford to get rid of it. I also can't afford a Signature Rendu, - so I'm going to convert USB to SPDIF with this....

I know it. Are you using it ?
sorry if i missed it but how it is connected to your pc ?
any isolator/usb power supply/regenerator in between ?
Kind regards,

Hiya....
It arrived today, - got a metal "project box." I'll drill two holes in either side for the female USB input and the other side for the COAX.
It'll just sandwich in between the microRendu and my Universal player.

Hi !
i do not want to stress you but what is the "Universal Player" ?
I have found instead info about this ...
http://www.microrendu.sonore.us/
very interesting device.
Still i would like to read something about that Universal Player.
Thanks a lot indeed.

Hi,
My system is a tubed APL Universal player that plays DVD-A, DVD-V, SACD, redbook CDs, etc. It has a built-in "H-attenuator" so it's a limited pre-amp as it has a SPDIF coax digital input on the back.
Other universal players are the Sony, Oppo, Yamaha, all made players that do DVD, SACD, CD etc.... S
So, - I need an external USB to SPDIF converter that will be the F-1 XMOS XU208 "bridge." The microRendu will replace the Mac Mini and and will run LMS, Roon, MiniMserver....
I was using a HiFace USB to SPDIF converter previously.

Hi and thanks a lot again for the kind reply
Nice thing to have a digital input on the player.
There are some integrated sources that have excellent DA stage.
But usually only digital outs are provided.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
