Of course it’s working fine, but it’s a safety concern.
Looks like the ac current connections aren’t protected.
Is very hard to put a finger there, you need to force your way for that.

I would like to unpair the USB socket of the PC from the dac by taking iFi iDefender
It's not necessary snake oil. iDefender fixed noise issue on my DAC.Don't waste your money on snake oil. Just take GND out directly from USB connector or cable.
What I find is that the D50s sounds exactly the same as the DX3 Pro as long as the Lehmann is between it which is quite a warm colored amp (personal preference).
But (un)surprisingly the D50s and DX3 Pro sound practically the same to my ears (AKM vs ESS).

did you have to connect additional power to make it work?It's not necessary snake oil. iDefender fixed noise issue on my DAC.
to work it works but does not decouple the dac from the pc power supply the ifi is not cheap for the simplicity of the project but it does its job wellI call it snake oil since a single electrical tape can isolate the GND (ground).
It will cost you near nothing (yes, it works), as the other costs the absurd minimum US$ 50 !
My dac is self powered, it worked without additional power. For USB powered dac you need to connect power supply.did you have to connect additional power to make it work?

ok I like this very much also for the price is there the version with separate power supply like ifi?You can find/buy the very same for just $9 bucks. $50 doesn't justify a thing:

A more expensive one (if you like to burn $$$):

gradius I looked for some reviews and evaluations and in fact you are right you also the various usb purifiers are useless just a good linear power supply and a modified cable. I wanted to try to make me a cable with separate power supply but my only doubt is the shielding of the cable must also be interrupted and left connected only from the PC side?
This is an audio science forum, sir.I feel like the soundstage opened and corners are rounder, treble is much less harsh. I know lots of you will call me insane, but that's what I feel.
It's the first link here http://www.tpdz.net/downloadCan you give me the link for Thesycon USB drivers for Topping? Thank you
