As the title says, I’m looking to buy a couple of the USB Y-splitters that allow you to connect power and data separately to avoid ground loops, as supplied with the Arturia Beatstep Pro - the top left item on this picture:
You can buy a pack with all the cables shown above, but I don’t need any of the others, would just like a couple more splitters for my Roland Boutiques as they seem to do the trick.
Other USB ground loop avoidance solutions also welcome!
Oh man, audiophile USB cables. It’s unbelievable that this nonsense continues into the digital domain where each and every transport protocol has at least builtin error detection to guarantee that no flipping bits get through undetected.
Neater solution if it works without impacting sound quality as it doesn’t require 2 USBs. Weird how some devices suffer from this and others do not, e.g. I have Peak and Hydrasynth connected to the same hub and multi-plug, the Peak is fine but the Hydra has loads of USB noise
I’ve got a pile of those, deployed as-needed, but I’m finding some places where I’m still getting USB-type noise regardless, like it’s getting baked in on the signal side instead of coming through on ground. Need to spend a while tearing stuff apart and confirming, though.
