Success!! Adding a bus-powered 3.0 USB hub after the Intona and before the DAC did the trick! HUGE THANK YOU to everyone (especially Godmax, Atanasi and Veri) for your help!!
OK thanks guys. Will try a bus-powered hub. I’m still kind of stumped as to why / how the Intona is creating the ”doubling” issue on track playback.
FWIW, to double-check, I also tried plugging the PC, the DAC, my AVR (which is just passing through the signal FWIW) and my amplifier into one...
Thanks guys. And just to double-check: is it important that this is a bus-powered hub vs. independently powered? (I’ve read elsewhere that injecting a separate power supply into USB could help). Thank you for your advice!
Aargh. So an Intona 7055-C arrived today. I connected my NUC to it (using an A to B cord--A cord from NUC port to B port on Intona), and then to the Gustard X26 Pro (from its A port to the B input on the DAC). I'm stumped. When I try to play tracks, there's a lot of crackling, and then the...
Hi everyone. I’m a long-time ASR lurker, first-time poster, but am struggling with a new issue and am pretty sure it’s USB noise—and I don’t think I’m using a poorly designed DAC, but rather one recommended around these parts ; ).
I just got a Gustard X26Pro. I have a NUC 8 ROCK in a Turing...
I hope I have the same experience. Long-time ASR lurker, first-time poster, but am struggling with a new issue and am pretty sure it’s USB noise—and I’m not using a cheap DAC, but rather one recommended around these parts ; ).
