What is the latest greatest USB add on device?

I have been out of the USB arena for a while. Last I remembered there was an Uptone Regen, iFi, Intonia, Mutec, and the Disrupter.
I still own the Disrupter and I just tried it again and it did seem to improve the USB signal.
Is there any new USB devices that I should consider? It would be used between a Bryston BDP-2 USB player and a PS Audio Direst Stream Dac.

cincyjim,

They are expensive! 
I bought a few of them direct (from I think Australia) a few years back. They were much cheaper then. Now that there is a US distributor he has to add his profit to the cost.

I must add that grannyring BBQ usb version is a pretty good substitute, perhaps even better than the Curious.

Just received my Gotham Star Quad balanced DC cables. Now to see what the fuss is about...

After about 8 hours of break in time, the DC cables are really starting to provide a much more transparent sound. 
Hard to believe that a DC cable can improve the sound quality. But I'm hearing it.

That's why in this hobby, keep an open mind and you've got to hear it to believe it.
