Which one to buy: UpTone USB REGEN or Intona USB Isolator?

Has anyone tried Intona with Mytek Manhattan?

I would also say no, but you have to make sure that the noise from the switching PS of your PC does not enter your audio chain in other ways, for instance add a filter before the PC (like a simple Schaffner filter, and/or use good filters before your other audio components).

Which Schaffner filters in particular?

[lotriwer]

I am using a Schaffner FN2090-16-06, which is rated at 16A, because it allows me to use one for the whole chain (DAC, (SA)CDP, preamp, poweramp), but you can buy one which is tailored to the power consumption of your computer. This is where I bought it https://www.conrad.de/de/entstoerfilter-250-vac-16-a-4-mh-l-x-b-x-h-1135-x-575-x-454-mm-schaffner-fn2090-16-06-1-st-554095.html

 

Initially I just put it in a wooden box to test it as in this picture

Thank you.

I read some conflicting advices regarding Intona. Is it better to place it closer to computer or DAC?
