USB direct or via. a reclocker?

No, no, a thousand times no.:expressionless:
See this link -

The mR is strictly a transport. How can it clean up the USB signal when it is outputting the signal back out thru the same GEN USB port as the USB port on the originating machine?

Your decision, of course.

I am studiously avoiding the whole argument as to whether a modern asynchronous DAC even needs its USB input ‘cleaned up’. I’ll leave that to the more technically articulate.
