Pry,

You would be better off with an opticis cable and a better power supply.

First using a 5M cable into a hub is not a good idea. A better one would be too use a a 3m then hub then 2m. But even then it's not a good idea and the ground imbalance between the computer and the dac is going to have real issues.

You need to have the computer, dac and stereo on the same ground potential and to do that you usually need to be on the same circuit.

The opticis is optically isolated. The power supply they send is crap but there are other solutions for that.

Thanks
Gordon
