Devialet and USB cables

[ogs]

That should not be necessary. In this thread the subject of USB bus power is discussed:   http://devialetchat.com/showthread.php?tid=438
It is interesting to note that Antoine found the Devialet needs the USB power ground connected to work. Ground is often where the noise is transferred so to eliminate this the best solution is probably a device that isolates the USB input completely. I believe the UpTone Regen device will do this http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f10-mu...post397482 To find out more about the Regen you'll have read a bit on the CA forum.
Alternatively low noise from the streamer USB port will also do the trick. I am quite sure Aurender and other high quality devices have very good control with the noise on their USB outputs.

Replying to my own post...

I now have a Regen device in my system. I does not provide galvanic isolation as I assume in the quoted post, but it sounds fabulous! If this is interesting for your setup, please see this thread http://devialetchat.com/showthread.php?tid=1139
