out of interest what usb cable are you using?

Is the USB port on the Schitt galvanically isolated?

It is galvanically isolated.

Further info:

Gen 5 USB: USB, Solved
Forget decrapifiers, regenerators, isolators, and all the USB dongles and boxes you’ve been told you need for USB sound. Our all-new Gen 5 USB input doesn’t require any of that stuff. It’s this simple: Gen 5 is USB, solved. Now standard on all our upgradable DACs, Gen 5 USB features full galvanic isolation via transformers, self-power for low noise and latching, and high-quality local clocking for both 44.1 and 48k multiples.

I’ve used Schiit’s own plus one I got with an AMR CD Player/DAC years ago.

What do you use if you don't mind me asking?

Incidentally, to those using the Zen Mini - where do you locate yours? Mine is on my rack. It seems pretty quiet - certainly a lot quieter than the NAS I had in the lounge.

Some apparently locate theirs in a separate room.

Thanks - and you feel the cable has made a difference? Did you compare it to anything else?

Which Lavri line is it from? Master, Reference etc

Thanks.

reference--tried a few

belkin -various/supra/furatech/ chord

used the furatech for years couldn't fault it

went the silver route usb and ic-game changer IMHO

just another jump-more expensive but worth every penny

im lucky Brian 2957 tolerates my daft requests and builds stuff i can experiment with

Thank you. Will look further into the Lavricables albeit it seems you have to import from the States.
