Yeah, that's what I was thinking, but I have no place else to put it now that I have a streamer/DAC/Pre all in one. I recall a member Ozzy did this. I was hoping he would chime in with his thoughts.
USBe Perfect Hookup??
I have one, and was wondering how I can use it between my external hard drive case type "B" (box) and the input for the drive which is type "A" on the rear of my player. The unit has a direction arrow, so I'm not sure if it can be turned around and still function. Any help?? Thanks

OP: If you don’t need it anymore, you probably can sell it. I asked Walter at Underwood HiFi, the distributor for the USBe Perfect, if the directionality mattered. He said just try reversing it. Nothing will break. He was right. - - - The USBe Perfect is a USB signal regenerator. It is not a filter or enhancer. Ozzy reviewed it here. Conceptually, it is similar to the Smoothlan Ethernet Regenerator. Initially, I got my USBe Perfect to improve the SQ for streaming from my modded laptop. It made a substantial improvement. Less edgy, less grainy. But soon thereafter, I switched to a dedicated streamer - which was far superior to the laptop. Out of curiosity, I installed the ’Perfect’ in the USB output from my streamer to my DDC. The SQ improved once again - but subtly. More refined, more natural, more spacious. Every once in a while - with all the improvements to my digital chain - I remove it - thinking I don’t need it anymore. I always put it back in. YMMV. |
Still a great product that I use from my Hard drive to my Lumin X1. Do a search for the appropriate adapters. Here are a few on Amazon. Amazon.com : usb adapters b to a ozzy |
@ozzy Thanks for posting. Have you by any chance tried using it in reverse. It's a very easy hook-up that way, but I don't know if it will even work. What are your thoughts? |
