Hi can anyone recommend a effective mains filter to be used with the Gustard ?
I see no mains RF filter in the U12 and that toroidal is an open door for any high Hz noise coming from the mains.
However ... this below is one of the best usb to spdif converter around ...
look at its power supply ... it has both a filter and a EI transformer.

Very very simple and nevertheless, i guess, extremely effective.
And this is one of the very beast converter around. A reference for all.
I have an opinion.
I see people adding uF ... this is good of course.
But this does nothing about the high Hz noise in the mains ... nothing.
And this noise, from what i have learned, is extremely negative for digital devices ... extremely.
A very good filtering of this high freq noise coming from the mains is mandatory for good performance.
This is a simple but very effective solution.
