Nad M51 + usb conditioner?

Would i benefit from using a Ifi iusb or another device that cleans the usb connection from my Mac to the Nad M51 usb input?

I recommend Fred at Stereodesk. The USB cable also has an effect - I'm using the Nordost Blue Heaven with very good results.

It benefits quite a bit from one - which is not unusual - most do. The best is an Off-Ram, the best value an Audiopholleo. Thanks Bill

I use AP2+PP to connect my linux nas to m51 and love the result. AP2 +PP sounds fresher while OR5 delivers denser textures. Both are great for m51 depends on personal taste and system.
