What is the latest greatest USB add on device?

I have been out of the USB arena for a while. Last I remembered there was an Uptone Regen, iFi, Intonia, Mutec, and the Disrupter.
I still own the Disrupter and I just tried it again and it did seem to improve the USB signal.
Is there any new USB devices that I should consider? It would be used between a Bryston BDP-2 USB player and a PS Audio Direst Stream Dac.

After about 8 hours of break in time, the DC cables are really starting to provide a much more transparent sound. 
Hard to believe that a DC cable can improve the sound quality. But I'm hearing it.

That's why in this hobby, keep an open mind and you've got to hear it to believe it.

The DC cable used on LPSs is critical.  More important than even the PC used on the LPS. The POE based DC cable I mentioned above is even better than the various starquad cables out there. They are just a pain to fit into your rack! Sound-wise they are the best I have heard.
