Is it correct that this device blocks noise and does not regenerate signal or remove jitter?
Please correct me if I need to be corrected.

The LHY UIP galvanically isolates and reclocks the input USB signal signal to deliver a clean output signal - a nice neat “eye pattern” (meaning low jitter), free of upstream electrical noise. The high level of galvanic isolation of the ADuM chip used effectively blocks electrical noise carried on the upstream USB cable’s ground and signal conductors. A reference oscillator is integral to the design of the particular latest generation ADuM USB isolator chips (as used in the LHY and certain other USB isolators) to reclock the output USB signal, to reduce the output USB SIGNAL JITTER*/ timing variation from one square wave wave crest / trough to the next.Is it correct that this device blocks noise and does not regenerate signal or remove jitter?

It blocks noise on the isolator and regenerate signal.Is it correct that this device blocks noise and does not regenerate signal or remove jitter?

Remarkably it does help, as I said on the Audio-Gd thread. Even helps in front of the far more expensive Innuous Phoenix, though it seems certain combos are not necessarily better.. eg putting the LHY before the Phoenix or the Holo Titanis before the LHY. Not super intuitive. Assume an even higher quality USB source like a high quality streamer would sound better still, it seems everything matters, incl all the Ethernet isolation far upstream (I tested this, still very audible).So- would placing one of those Ali Express or ifi usb dongle jitter minimizers on the output of the LHY help- or would it be just what the LHY is already doing better?
This is the one I have in front of the LHY - used with Ifi Power X + DC iPurifier2 - effect of both very audible.This one would go before the LHY on ther PC output. (isolater type dongle) (I think)

It is crazy. Very hard to predict what will sound better as a combination using theory (apart from selecting individual items using principles of like power quality, isolation quality, and also oscillator precision where applicable). Until I tried this I'd have been very sceptical about the quality of oscillators in USB regenerators having any effect on audio quality. I am sceptical no longer.This is crazy. If the DI-24 and LHY UIP both isolate so well, how can a additional isolating dongle do more?
In my experience- when over purifying, sometimes things get sterile and to thin... I guess it is system dependant.
What I like about what I'm reading about the LHY UIP is it presents a denser, rounder, thicker sound. This is the direction I want to go in.
This is common mode filter. The best use is at the receiving side.
This is equivalent of Ifi Defender. The best use as per Ifi instruction. None of them are isolators. For the latest high-speed isolators look at Douk Audio U2Pro poorman DDC thread.This one would go before the LHY on ther PC output. (isolater type dongle) (I think)
