Why not a run high quality usb cable from your pc or Mac to a dual mono DAC. By doing so you can have the shortest interconnects and speaker cable as possible with the least amount of inter reaction. If this is even possible ?
^^^^ That should make it easier for people who don't want to run a cable across the floor from computer "front end" to DAC in rack and people with big rooms. Nice price too!
Steve, Would it work with USB to Toslink Converter? My friend wants to run 30' of cheap IC from the sound card to receiver while his receiver has Toslink input. 30' of USB extension + converter + 3' glass Toslink is perhaps better?
Steve, Does the repeater "screw up" the timing of the stream so that implementations that depend on "constant" USB rate for clock recovery don't work? If so, async USB may not be affected. The price is so cheap, I may just get one and try it with my QB-9.
These repeaters usually interfere with the "back-channel" communications, both adaptive and asyc. They also add a LOT of jitter. Even if you get one to work you will probably need a reclocker to fix the jitter. I have at least one sitting in the reject box.
