RE: The saga of my netbook power supply

Hi,

Nice to hear that you are moving from a 'full' setup to a laptop; while I'm trying to do the opposite. Not that I am unhappy with the current sound, in fact I am absolutely delighted with what I'm hearing now, what with the recent tweaks by steppe and all, I am getting the sound of my previous full analog gear. (Infinity RS1, Sota Diamond, Decca cartridge etc.)

Please note that if you want to externally power your USB isolator, you'll have to do a couple of soldering jobs. However, because your dac is self-powered, the benefit you could derived from the ADuM4160 might not be as great as mine.

When you said 'fully tweaked XP' do you mean the full spectrum of the steppe tweaks (22+ I think)? If yes, then your USB doesn't work is a given because the full steppe tweaks are not taking the USB into account. You would need to find out what files are needed to enable the USB to be functional and restore them.
