For all it's worth, I think the thread itself has value in that some really good opinions and info, as well as useful links that were provided by members of CA. I learned much here and this thread lead me to other threads within this site. More importantly, as a potential customer who was initially interested in the debated product, I was able to make an educated decision to not purchase it based on the character of the "inventor", who had a good opportunity to back his product with some factual info, but instead squandered said opportunity with shameless pitches. I never would have gotten all this from his website, which is completely unchallenged. Testimony to this lies within this thread for all to read, unfortunately for him and fortunately for those who may inquire about the disruptor in the future.

I don't understand why you do not provide some data regarding the effective filtering and protection of your power supply. From what I can see, this is where most the cost of your USB Disruptor would be. Since the supply voltage is sourced from say 120 VAC and then converted to 5 VDC, it would be of some comfort to know that there is reliable circuit protection in place. How is the primary wall voltage isolated from the secondary supply voltage to the DAC and how well does it filter say ripple current? I think explaining how this is achieved may go a long way to ensuring some credibility of your product... At least that is my 2 cents

First post here, I stumbled across this thread when I was looking into the USB Disruptor. I would like to pose a question to anyone here willing to share any ideas or experience using a self powered USB hub as an alternative to powering a DAC that requires it's 5 volts via usb port. This question for Rob, do I understand it correctly when you say that your USB Disruptor provides a constant power to the DAC then stays out of the signal path's way so to speak? Right now I am using a Music Streamer 2 and have found that it requires me to keep the power adaptor plugged in while in use for optimum performance of both the computer and the DAC. Any thoughts?
