I see they also sell a USB isolator. that could be interesting.
Be very careful with USB isolators. The simple ones usually are USB full speed, you need USB2 high speed (480Mbps) for USB audio 2.0. One well known example of one that's suitable is the Intona, the first real USB2 high speed isolator.
And regarding the USB-ethernet extenders/isolators. Most are not suitable for USB audio. They need to support isochronous (not a typo!) transfer mode. Even then it may be hit or miss. A well know one that works is the Icron RG2304GE-LAN and of course PS Audio's Lanrover.
This or next week Uptone Audio will announce the ISO Regen. The successor of the Regen which supposedly has galvanic isolation built in. See my earlier post.
Regarding ethernet isolators; the Baaske MI-1005 is a well known one. I myself own a EMO Systems EN-HD70. It has slightly better specs than the Baaske.
