Hi Damien, Please see my last replies regarding the beta on the Audirvana.com Forum (PeterFR). Would be happy to post here if you prefer.

OK thanks I'll try that one.

...I found that the Corning is the best solution to cover the 10 meter distance between mac and amp. Would the M2tech connected directly to my mac together with a 10 meter coax cable and do a better job? What do you mean by 'very low-noise, power-isolated network streaming endpoints'?

Hi, I would like to know what you think of my current set-up. What could or should be the next step to improve? As I have a AQ Jitterbug I would like to know if adding this to my set-up would improve things. Really don't know where to add it (behind iMac, behind Corning, behind USB hub) Thanks for comments and advice! My set-up: Audirvana Plus -> iMac -> Corning USB Optical (10 meters) -> powered USB hub -> M2tech Hiface TWO -> Hegel H80 (coax input)

Found more information on: Archimago's Musings: MEASUREMENTS: Computer USB port noise, USB hubs and the 8kHz PHY Microframe Packet Noise -
Corning Optical USB cable experiences
Pjiotter replied to EuroDriver's topic in DAC - Digital to Analog Conversion
Tried it last night and can't hear any difference, but my ears are 50+ and sound is already so good. With "still" I ment the TECHNICAL explanation, not the audible one. -

Thanks, I wil give it a spin. Would still like to know what the Jitterbug will/will not do technically combined with the Corning and a powered USB hub. -

I've connected my iMac to my DAC (inside a Hegel H80) by a Corning USB 3.0 10m cable. Needed an additional USB hub though to recognize the DAC. Makes a HUGE improvement in SQ (before I used an RJ45 - airport express - toslink). As I own a AudioQuest Jitterbug my question is will this do any good adding it to my chain? And if so, where should I add it: directly into iMac or after the powered USB hub? Thanks !
