Stella ★★★★★

Finally managed to kill a ground loop hum that three other devices couldn't touch. The ISOUSB211 chip really does make a difference with high-res audio, and the aluminum housing feels rock solid.

Christopher L. ★★★★★

Picked up one of these to kill a persistent hum from my studio monitors and it worked instantly. The ISOUSB211 chip really handles high-res audio without dropping frames. Money well spent for cleaner recordings.

John K. ★★★★★

The aluminum casing feels substantial and dissipates heat well, and the UAC2 compliance means my hi-res files pass through untouched. The ground loop hum that used to sneak in with my desktop setup is completely gone, and I can finally listen without that annoying buzz.
