Hello everybody,
After researching and listening, some systems i suppose the USB isolator is some kind of SotM or PPA PCBs, that isolate the power from dac, so i purchase a IfI USB Power from avatar acoustics.
Today i'm running my system with a mac mini 2009 moded with SSD Hd, 4Gb of ram and a external power supply, with a MSB DACIV Platinum with galaxy clock and diamond power base.
Installing the Ifi USB, i get a sound with more focus and details probably cause the reducing of the background noise and a full bodied sound. After 48Hs i noticed a increase of all this qualities including more layers on sound, but the sound became a little harsh and bright and needed to reduce a little of toeing.
After a insight, i changed the stock power supply with a shunt regulator that i have it here, just to listen.
For my surprise i don't lost anything of good, but now the sound is no more aggressive, no more harsh and bright and again i won more layers on sound.
Till now i'm loving it, and now i'll try the Ipurifier and the gemini usb cable.
Just to know, anyone had trouble with USB cables, no synchronizing?
Cause i tested the chord USB cable Sauron, and he just don't play, probably cause the unmatched impedance, cause this i'll try the Gemini cable.
Other cable that i tested and liked is from locus, not sure but i think nucleus, but no more in production.
