RE: " Or WiFi! "

" Did you happen to read the article I referenced? "

i see. It was well known but maybe considered not important.
Now i see some agreement that is indeed important.
So i expect other devices addressing the issue soon on the market


" 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 understand that audio high end is a niche.
And pro users probably they just listen for major drops or issues.


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

Probably i just got carried away by the prose used in the reviews.
Sometimes they exaggerate about the actual improvements.
Thanks again for the valuable advice.
Kind regards,
