Kenny, did I get you name wrong somewhere? If so, sorry... Also didn't know you sold the Sonictransporter. You are certainly hard to keep up with! LOL
grannyring, I had no idea you were also using the iFI3.0. Maybe I'm not crazy. I am using the same SOtM txUSBexp card you are too, apparently. I'm actually powering my USBexp with an iFI wall wart. And I agree. The PS upgrade, even to just the iFI, did make a significant difference. More than the batteries I experimented with. I am waiting for HDPlex to release it's new LPS. I'll power the PC and then directly connect the USBexp external power to it.
As far as cables, I would love to give yours home-grown an audition when you're ready. Drop me an email with details when you can, please.
I may also want to talk to you about a motherboard modification to use one of SOtMs clocks to interface between the USBexp and the MB. I know you're really good at such projects. In your spare time go to this link and scroll down to "sCLK-EX142548+tX-USBexp+ PC mainboard installation guide" a few pages down. https://www.docs.sotm-audio.com/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=manuals:sclk-ex_operating_instructions_rev1....
