USB Repeaters and active USB Cables have been long used outside audio (and by some within).

The first specifically High End Audio targeted use of a USB Hub Chip to re-drive the USB Signal (IIRC) was/is the Shiit Wyred.

That is unless we count the AMR CAS Setup, which was "dealer only - not for resale" Job (sold at our cost to our Partners - as most dealers/distributors of ours were unwilling to set up PC's for this themselves) and meant to demo AMR's DP-777 DAC.

This included a (commercial) active USB Cable, which we found to provide a material improvements over passive cables, but for a number of reasons we did not commercialise that system at the time for High End Audio. With hindsight perhaps a lost opportunity.

Well, I guess they all follow the Shiit Wyred, or the Belkin active USB Cable we used at AMR...

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?
