Le Concombre Masqué Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 stupid questions albeit I'm not home : I understand that in order to get rid of any cable and even of any non Uptone device between my MBPr and TEAC 501 with an unboxed Green USB Regen card in between, I need 2 USPCB A>B Adapters ; is it a good idea to order 2 turned 90-degrees USPCB A>B Adapters ? is postage charged twice to France ?

You would need to set the laptop on book or something to position it--and any REGENs--at the correct height to align its USB port with that of your DAC. In any case, you would definitely want to stay with our standard orientation--and not the 90-degree rotated 'B' plug version. Of course not! In fact, you could order a dozen USPCB A>B Adapters and they would ship overseas for the same $14. They weigh next to nothing. The cost is because any non-bendable item--even in a padded pouch--gets considered by the post office as a "package," and $14 is the amount we pay for First Class Air Mail. (Actually, because I set up the USPCBs as a 4 ounce items our system--for our ease when shipping--orders for a whole bunch of them would likely trigger a larger shipping charge, which I would see and refund. But 2-3 of them will still bill at just the $14; $3 in USA.) thank you Alex. I can't place my MacBook Pro laptop behind my Teac DAC where it is at the moment. Maybe if I switch the pre and DAC placements : will check when back home and hopefully be able to order 2 USPCBs, one on each side of my unboxed Green USB Regen. Another silly question in the age of RFI/EMI phobia : though the devices appear well shielded, could such a physical proximity defeat the purpose ? As of the height, I might rather go for an extra inner tube ;-) http://barrydiamentaudio.com/vibration.htm Link to comment
