This is now a prominent ad on Audioholics.com. It looks like something I'd put together in my garage: USB Audio - USB DisruptorUSB Disruptor

At least they (sort of) describe what it does technically without major BS. Appears to be a USB adapter that instead supplies power to the client from a different power source than the host supplies.

Too bad it doesn't put optoisolators on the data lines and break ground entirely (not just the shield) to avoid the ground loop noise that tends to happen when you connect a USB DAC from a line-powered computer to a sound system. That used to plague me when I was supplying test signals from a computerized system, sometimes had to use a laptop on battery power to get the noise down to reasonable levels.
