So, Anker is the recommended Hub...should it be powered even if the HD is powered? Will any old crap usb hub sound the same? Here's what I've come up with. New Anker 4 Port USB 3 0 Hub w 12V 2A Power Adapter 3ft 3 0 Cable | eBay

Thanks. I use the HDMI for video only. It's my understanding that it's a poor cable for digital audio transfer. As far as audio outputs it's hdmi, headphone or usb. Where do I find the schematics the the USB ports?

Thank you all so much. I'm still getting into the computer audiophile stuff. I've been a home audio buff for sometime now but this is still pretty new.

Hi folks! I need to use a USB hub as one of my 3 USB ports is broke. I run a hard drive, audio out to a DAC and a wireless mouse/keyboard through the USB ports. my question is will this affect the sound quality? Also is a powered USB hub better? Are any brands considered audiophile? thanks for your help.
