RE: An insolent provocation .... if a usb dac is very well design (and built) the pc quality should not matter

Hi,

I suspect they do, from a different angle. But Deep Crypto scares me, the people into in are a bit odd.

But not necessarily ones optimised to carry 50MHz/50MBPS signals with low jitter, or at prices that make inclusion in relatively inexpensive commercial equipment feasible.

Yes, but that does not really help with things that can only isolation (or breaking the noise loops in other ways) can fix.

What we (Computer Audio) need are commoditised USB2.0 High Speed isolators OR good isolators for I2S style digital signals up to 100MHz that do not operate based on RFI producing principles and have low jitter.

At 20 bits, you are on the verge of dynamic range covering fly-farts-at-20-feet to intolerable pain. Really, what more could we need?
