As long as there is no proven way to correlate meaningful measurements with what an USB isolator does for the DAC's SQ, it remains to the user to detect and value (or not) any improvements.I absolutely believe you that it improves the USB input of the D50 significantly. I am only wondering if there is a logic of investing $325 to improve the unit which costs $250 or less. It makes a total of $575, for which might one simply jump to a higher tier dac.
As one chooses to go with the Intona, I suggest that you go with the even more expensive 2.5kV version, I just got to compare it with the 1kV version I have. IMO the improvement in SQ scales up quite nicely, though neither of these device was specifically built for audio application.
