This is the hi-current version that can power devices that requires 500mA. It is still only USB full speed (only support USB full speed device max 96kHz/24bit)
This listing ships from USA.
The Hifimediy USB Isolator will isolate the power from the USB host (computer) and the connected device and provide a cleaner DC voltage for the USB device. The isolator will create a new ground for the USB device so that it doesn't have to share ground with your computer and other devices you might have connected in the same house.
This can be used to prevent ground loops. It will also protect the USB device and host from electrical shocks or static electricity shocks. It will also greatly improve the quality of the DC power signal used to power the USB device, which can improve performance of sensitive equipment like audio converters.
This Isolator doesn't require an external power supply. It features a isolated, regulated DC-DC module which is powered from the USB host (computer) and can give out 200mA, sufficient for commonly used USB equipment (but not all - check your device's power requirement!). Power is filtered with a LC filter featuring quality Sanyo OSCON caps.
It features a professional grade isolation chip, ADUM4160 and with an optimal layout it features signal isolation capability of 5000V and voltage isolation of 1000V.
A low noise regulator is used to power ADUM4160 and low noise DC-DC converter gives a clean 5VDC power to the connected USB device.
USB Full Speed 12Mbps is sufficient for samples rates up to 96khz/24bit. But it will not work with 192khz/24bit samples rates as this requires USB "High Speed" 480Mbps (the is currently no chips available supporting USB "High speed")
Will it work with my DAC?
It works with dac's that support up to 96Khz/24bit, it does not work with 192Khz/24bit sample rates because they require USB High Speed 480Mbit/s.
Also, some dac's requires more than 200mA power. This might be if they have a headphone amplifier, or a MCU that draws more power.
You can always send it back for a full refund in case it doesn't work with your equipment. You can ask us first for an opinion about if your equipment is supported.
