USB Extender Solves Cable Length Limitation
GemMoth replied to Charles Hansen's topic in DAC - Digital to Analog Conversion
Update : I installed simple extender (not repeaters). It's two USB cable put together between my computer and my DAC. About 40 feet. It works fine. Better than the repeater. -
I does degrades quality. I get hiss and noise. Too noticeable that I don't want to keep the current arrangement (computer -> 16 feet USB repeater cable -> 15 feet USB cable -> DAC)

USB Extender Solves Cable Length Limitation
GemMoth replied to Charles Hansen's topic in DAC - Digital to Analog Conversion
I have a USB cable repeater (16 feet) with another USB cable (15 feet). About 10 metres total. It's for connecting my DAC to my computer. It's working but it's not great at all. Because I get hiss or noise. I have no such hiss when I use shorter USB cables (without repeater). Shorter means about 8 metres I guess (it's USB cable put together). What should I do? Try adding another 2 metres cable to my 4 x 2 metres cables? LOL Try another make of USB repeater cable? I have this : eForCity NEW 16FT/5M ACTIVE USB 2.0 EXTENSION / REPEATER CABLE: Amazon.ca: Electronics
