I think I better start a new sub-thread for this topic.
I do use external LPS power supply for the Intona. I use an 'AQVOX' for the 'send' side of the Intona. I use another external LPS on the 'Receive' side of the Intona such that the Intona is not powering the USB DAC at all.
I found this further improve the impact of the Intona.
If your USB DAC has separate power for the USB signal receiving module, then there is no need to add external power on the 'receive' side of the Intona.

Are you referring to the AQVOX Switch 8 Ethernet switch? If so, have you had the chance to compare it to a conventional Ethernet switch? I'm using a Cisco SG-110D-05 with the Rendu.
Hope that you're doing well....There is also the JCAT, another modified D-Link switch with "temperature controlled Oscillator" and upgraded caps.
I haven't ordered this, as I am still looking at other options. (There's a soon-to-be-released 6 port coming out that has a FPGA chip in it that is ASIO).
I am running a mRendu with both Sonore/Cardas linking cables, the LPS-1 and fiber, + a F-1 with a 1.5m AS Coax into the DAC. Trusted folks have been asserting that EMO-70HD, Intona, Regen, RUR, Mutec, etc. don't offer much; as isolation and SI are built into the mRendu, LPS-1, & F-1.
In any case, one of the few things that I have left to play with is the NAS. I am going back & forth between MPD, Roon, & LMS on the NAS, so when my trial period of ROON ends, - I'll be playing with more hardware: FWIW.
Biggest difference in my system was by far the DC4 cable from LPS-1 to the mRendu.

Hello Sordidman, good to see you posting. I'm a newbie to CPU audio, which at my age in audio years makes me feel if not look like less of a dinosaur. My build-out so far is Roon & QNAP NAS> EN Switch> Paul Hynes-powered Rendu> DSD128 into K-01X. Next step is to see what EN cables may improve on the generic Cat5.
I am referring to the AQVOX LPS power supply for the USB. The AQVOX LPS has a special USB 'B' adaptor which cut the power from the computer and then it supplies its own power at this adaptor.
I use the AQVOX LPS to power the intona instead of getting noisy power from the computer.
I have ordered the AQVOX switch, so it's on its way ( I hope). I have am presently using a Netgear switch powered by an HDPlex.I have an LPS-1 to compare as well.
I am using the switch with the microRendu and SOtM sMS-200

Thanks Alan.
My intent is to buy another iFi Nano iUSB 3.0 Power, and use this between my JCAT ( Intona) and DAC, as I noticed earlier on this device when used in tandem with a dual-headed USB cable did in fact kept the DAC power up. As noted with both the JCAT and W4S Recovery type of devices......., once the Mac Mini was shut off, so what the DAC which proves neither of them were actually powering it on their own.
It's just a matter of regrouping my thoughts, and adjust accordingly.
Learning is still a blessing in itself......., and I for one love it.
