    Intona USB 3.0 Isolator Review

    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!!

    Intona USB 3.0 Isolator Review

    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...

    Intona USB 3.0 Isolator Review

    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!

    Intona USB 3.0 Isolator Review

    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...

    Help requested: USB noise issue with NUC8 ROCK and new Gustard X26 Pro

    They are, but I also tried plugging them into separate outlets (e.g., on different walls)—no improvement.

    Intona USB 3.0 Isolator Review

    I’d like to use the USB input to the Gustard if I can for a few reasons, including to see how MQA sounds to my ears.

    Intona USB 3.0 Isolator Review

    Fingers crossed—thanks for the encouragement! It’s frustrating—I thought the Gustard would have better isolation but apparently not.

    Help requested: USB noise issue with NUC8 ROCK and new Gustard X26 Pro

    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...

    Intona USB 3.0 Isolator Review

    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 ; ). I just got a Gustard X26Pro. I have a NUC 8 ROCK in a Turing case...
