Oh, like the old AirPort Express and several generations of Macs? That makes sense.
Why does a DAC need an antenna, though? I don't see any wifi capability on the Amazon page.
It has Bluetooth.

It just trashes the device...looks awefully cheap.
Displays like those are only acceptable with devices under 100€!
Oh my....that old song.
Back in the days....humans lived in caves. So what?
WHY do you think it should have help with the ground loop ???
It´s still a ground look.
XLR is said to help with it.
That´s okay
I have those hopes too....some magic would help....but that hardly happens, eh?
/EDIT: Since I suffer from this too...I´m searching for help too....
See what I´ve found....instead of using very expensive USB-Filters....

Isn´t that an idea too?
I´ll try it....but then I´ll need something for XLR in the future....
To go nuts I additionally I ordered those too:

ah found the XLR-Stuff

When connected to any PC USB port, my Fiio D3 seems to transmit a very noisy buzzing to my THX 789. When I use my cell phone charger to power my D3 the buzzing is gone.
In my experience, it's safe to say that USB ports on the PC can be very problematic and I encourage those to try out different methods for powering devices.
I´m not sure you understood the whole mass loop problematics.
Or it is me? Without the RCA or XLR there is no mass loop if im wrong....the noise on the usb ports is from this ground loop.
It feels different...but it is just the ground loop making SSD, graphics and what not else "sound".
Best proof of that....running the Fiio BTR5 als DAC coming into the RCAs of my SP200...NOISY as hell....taking out the SP200 out of the signal....using the amp within the BTR5....SAME USB PORT.....absolute silence!!!
I ordered all that stuff linked up there...I will be able to tell what helps. The ferrit cores won´t help anything with the ground loop....but will be there to clean other stuff out of the cables which they are prooven to do.
This MUCH CHEAPER way of stopping the ground loop works even better than that 50€ iDefender.
So items arrived today....ANY noise is gone now...where the iDefender worked with the D50s like a charm....it´s now dead or doesn´t work with every device....
M100 is now SILENT
Formerly unbearable noises of the BTR5 GONE

I´ll return it to get back my money.

If you think there are better Songs to test....tell me....maybe i´ve got them in an adequate quality for such purposes.
To earbleeding levels....I can´t hear bass distortion on my DT1990s
There was no noise other than those in the recordings...
The XLR-Way should be even without any loss in Quality, because you don´t filter anything.
This MKII version should theoretically be improved, but because I have not measured the M300, I decided not to think about it.
