RE: Low Cost High Speed USB Isolator?

All of the USB isolators that Abe displays in his response are full speed (12Mbps) USB isolators, which are fine for use with slower speed audio devices. Higher speed audio and video output and input devices use high speed USB (480Mbps). Many Audio Asylum inmates have expressed in the past the need for a high speed USB isolator to eliminate a ground loop between their audio device and their PC that is causing noise in their audio. Such a device is currently very expensive, usually requiring a card installed in the PC or an expensive optical extender hub (www.thewelltemperedcomputer.com/HW/USB_Isolator.htm). But the technology is just now becoming available to make a high speed USB isolator that could be priced in the $100-$150 range. This device would look like an oversized USB drive.
