Amazing! The Intona USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Isolator from Germany makes a noticeable and worthwhile improvement in (one of) my setups. Not just a difference but an audible improvement. This is with the PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC. My initial impression is that of more 'clarity' especially noticeable at lower volume levels and better effortless dynamics. I'll give it a try with my Ayre QB9-DSD DAC later.Intona gives me more Oom for my Oom-Pah dollars!! I ordered the industrial version with the -NF option direct from the Intona website on a Friday and it arrived on Wednesday. The PayPal transaction was effortless and they sent me the UPS tracking number as soon as it shipped.
