D&R Spare Part – USB Isolator v2 3-Channel High Speed version (10250610)
This product is the perfect solution for eliminating ground loops, preventing noise coupling, and protecting ports from power surges and voltage spikes, all while offering high-speed performance.
The High-Speed isolator provides galvanic isolation between the USB host and device, safeguarding the device from power shocks and preventing troublesome ground loops in audio applications. It supports USB transfer modes: Low (1.5Mbps), Full (12Mbps), and Hi-Speed (480Mbps), with Hi-Speed (480Mbps) essential for DACs that support sample rates above 96kHz/24bit, as well as multi-channel DACs.
This new isolator delivers more power, providing 400mA to the connected device, compared to 200mA from other USB isolators. While it does not support USB SuperSpeed (5Gbps) – a mode rarely used by audio devices – it remains fully compatible with audio hardware. Please note that Thunderbolt is not supported by this isolator, though only a few audio devices require it.
