i just do not understand why the lanrover did not make any improvement. on the one hand all that conversion seems bad. a lot of people said it was incredible and only a few said no difference or worse. well, i guess i am just one of the few. that is all i can think of. i was hoping it was a magic bulet. of course build it and they shall come. in fact they do not even build it. icron does. they slap their name on it. i was anticipating something amazing, but no. i am not sure why. the microrendu is in fact better but i do not wish to run roon. so it is just the aq jb and startech hub with no vbus and the js-2. that certainly is not bad i think. tbh, as i said the js-2 is doing all the heavy lifting. go figure.
got my answer. it is system dependent. ymmv. in systems that could use help with transmission it will make a big deal. ins systems with very solid usb transmission already the difference will be nill. however it will not degrade a signal. it transfers what it gets. likewise, if you dump garbage into it or on the other end you have a junk dac you will still have problems. it is not a miracle. it can tighten up systems that have issues. if you already are used to clean usb you are not going to hear much of if any difference. already having super clean usb it made no audible difference to me. ymmv.
