(10-Feb-2016, 10:35)Our Wrote: This is also, with the level of understanding I have, the way the d1-server from Totaldac has been built : a music server (small linux box), a USB galvanic isolation (provided by his USB cable) and a reclocker.
Just for information: the TotalDac D1 USB cable does not provide galvanic isolation. There's only two "ready" products at this moment (Intona and Coolgear) that offer full galvanic isolation for high speed USB 2.0 (480Mbps). Others (mainly DAC makers) that say they offer it don't isolate USB itself but somewhere upstream after the PHY and the USB chipset like XMOS for example in an I2S link tying into the DAC. Of course this is better than nothing but not not the same or as optimal.
