Hi,
New to the forum. Looks cool. and Nerdy 👍
In short I want a want to take what might be an improvable USB source signal and run it via USB into a gadget that will make it "better" by: getting rid of noise, maybe re-clocking, etc..., but have USB out as well. I do not have any i2s components.
So USB > wonderful, magic gadget > USB out. USB c for both would be bonus.
Any ideas ? There are USB decrapifiers like the ifi and the Schiit eitr which do what I want, in part, but they are something else in or out so do not fit my needs. Seems like there must be some kind of pi configuration that would do this, no ?
Thanks
Bill

Reclocking of USB does not bring any real benefits. USB isolators can mitigate noise issues. E.g. Intona, Topping HS02.
USB is not synchronous so there is no point in recklocking. The only thing would be to do galvanic isolation and that has ralredy been pointed out above.

Thanks for the help
USB being asynchronous means the clock of the source, (streamer, what have you) is doing the clocking. I am using an inexpensive streamer and also a cell phone as my two streaming sources. I am assuming that there are better clocks out there than those in my inexpensive streamer and phone. If those better clocks can be in the pi or ? between my phone / streamer and the DAC then I do no see why there would be no benefit.

No. In asynchronous USB audio the device (e.g. DAC) does the clocking and host (e.g. streamer, PC) adheres to that. Device sends asynchronous feedback to host to ensure that both host and device have same data rate (i.e. are in sync).
