The people pointing this out, like I did, have experimented and built up knowledge about computer audio. A laptop is one of the worst sources one could imagine, whether it runs from battery power or not. Of course running from battery power provides additional isolation but from a noise point of view most laptops are even noisier when running on battery power as more agressive power saving schemes become active in that mode.
Who's talking about a laptop?
I did and it's the source he's been using for this review, an 'Apple MacBook Air'.
To clarify the used source IME experience is very important when using USB. More so than when using AIR.
AIR has come a long way, I use it 100% again but I don't know if I would trust it for public facing professional reviews just yet. I also thought there were still some minor issues in the Mac version?
