RE: "total electrical isolation for the connections between your computer and music system "

Hi !
i am sorry but i do not have much information about the Ayre dac.
I am very ignorant on the subject but from day one i have been reading about how dirty is the power on the usb bus.
If this were the only option ok ... but if i understand well some usb dac can work with data only cable, providing the needed 5VDC from the dac power supply.
For instance i took a usb cable and cut the shield, the + and - power wires and a Cambridge Audio Dacmagic was working perfectly.
This should happen for all the dacs in my view, unless it is a usb dac for portable use of course.
I would also appreciate a manufacturer that put in the box also a nice usb data only cable tested and approved for his dac.
Kind regards,
bg
