In Reply to: RE: new QSA USB Adapters; anyone try them? posted by boodles on November 06, 2023 at 08:03:05
they seem very expensive to me just to try. I have tried a similar product.
iFi iDefender usb adapter. I tried a demo 1 from audio advisor. I think it runs 125 or more I got mine for 25.00. I have let others try it. We all heard differences with and without cant say what but different. I use it in between my flash drives and usb port with music on them. I like it so I use it.
Just to be clear the ifi product uses an electrical circuit to reduce noise, the QSAs is just a plain connector with nothing physically different than a standard connector. The magic is in the treatment QSA does to the connector. I've heard they expose them to large doses of simulated cosmic radiation, and/or conventional radiation for increasing periods of time, the more time the higher the price. This changes the conductivity of the metals, and dialectric/plastic. But this is just speculation, nothing public is known what they are doing. The cost of equipment and power consumption generating these types of fields can be quite large, as a way of explaining the cost.Many many people swear the positive changes using them are real, and that is good enough for me. Though I doubt I'd pay money for them myself.

I agree, some of the prices are literally ludicrous for what you seem to get. This is why I was curious if anyone had actually tried any of these. I would obviously be looking at the lowest cost ones, as I find it hard to justify the prices of the upper-end ones.
Best,
Chris
try the iFi ones from audio advisor I think you'll ne happy like I was
