audio.bill Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 There's one correction I'd like to make regarding the W4S Recovery description above. It doesn't claim to provide isolation for the USB signal, the only isolation is to the 5V power being provided. That's the same as for the UpTone Audio Regen which also isolates the 5V power, so I believe they should both be described in consistent terms as being USB reclockers. Neither of them provides galvanic isolation of the USB signal which is what the Intona USB Isolator does. Link to comment
audio.bill Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Fair enough. Doing our best to make that happen. That's great to hear! Looking forward to further details when you're able to provide them. Link to comment
audio.bill Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Bryston's BDA-2 and latest BDA-3 incorporate galvanic isolation for all electrical inputs. Quoting from their Digital Audio Brochure, "Each electrical input is galvanically isolated to completely eliminate the possibility of ground noise from the attached interconnect and device from polluting the signal." They confirmed that this includes the USB inputs on their forum. They also address reclocking - "The embedded clock signals are thrown out, and all incoming PCM data is re-clocked with our own high-precision internal master clock for the lowest possible jitter."
