This is definitely my favorite DACula channel for so long! Kudos to Srba!

You can be proud of this name and the quality of work which you do. Use it because it is up to everyone else to make the effort with pronouncing it. We owe you that

You can be proud of your name; beautiful AND beautiful story.

Good video as always, great info, great guy and great name. Thank you for your continued time and hardwork. Peace and Love from Manchester.

Awesome ending! Thank you! ❤️🎶🙏🏽

I'm here for the name pronunciation, and as a bonus he even told us what the channel name means!

Thank you, thank you for helping us understand your name, sweet story behind it, and a bit about your beautiful culture 🙏🏼

Love your name. Love your reviews! I had a very close Serbian friend & colleague who was a basketball player here in the US. My initial impression was that all Serbian guys are super tall lol. I'm an Indian btw. And i love your food!

Great videos Sorba !

I think the HS02 actually reclocks and regenerates the data signal, according to a RME post on ASR. It adds a latency (0.29μs), so it can't be fully transparent. Being a galvanic isolator it has to regenerate both power and signal from the source. The ADuM4166 isolator chip retimes the high speed data to a external clock or crystal input and 'can' reduce jitter, according to its datasheet.

THANKS SRBA 🙏 for sharing your name and your story…IT WAS REALLY WORTH IT…to watch today’s video…To find out the details 😁💚💚💚

I can’t roll my "Rs"…so you are now Srba (Serba) to me! 👍🏼 I am soooooooo glad that you discussed this so candidly! GOOD STUFF! Love your channel.

Great video! I currently use the iFi Nano IUSB 3.0 usb isolator and iFi iDefender+ usb ground loop eliminator with my media pc. They seem to be working since I haven't heard ground noise, hum, or distortion in years. This is important because I do use Little Dot MK3 tube amp as you've stated are sensitive to noise. These devices work excellent with my new SMSL SU-9 Pro dac as well. I believe you reviewed one of these iFi devices many many years ago. Your videos are much different now. Lol Thank you for another great video!

Thank you for objective review. You are very good

I think it’s great you’re letting your sense of humor come through. I said this many times, your ability to speak English as well as you do is amazing. Add to it a different character set with the language. Btw, I’m an old guy from the US. I wouldn’t have said Dracula but more like Boris Badenov. He’s before your time but if you want a laugh, look him up.

Thanks for not breaking my brain....love your channel.

Another great video. I would love to get your take on the Ifi LAN iSilencer. I trust your opinion over so many others.

Nice explanation, thanks,

Thanks Much!

Srboljub - Thank you for your beautiful explanation and cultural history of your beautiful name. I am glad to know it. I feel enriched by knowing that. It also goes well with your handsome face! As for the Topping, there are quite a few such devices on the market now. I am not surprised by your results. I have tried the Audioquest Jitterbug. I found that all it did was slightly roll-off the details in the highs. But I do want to try the ifi LAN Silencer for the ethernet connection!! Supposedly it removes noise from your router etc.. We shall see!

I am using ISOUSB211DPEVM USB isolator for cheap. Just put it into the off-the-shelf box. However, I can notice better clarity with my LA-QXD1. I found it in an article "USB Isolators for Audio - My Hi-Fi Journey". Maybe, it will be helpful for somebody.

Your name is absolutely not difficult to pronounce, even for a person such as myself who regretfully speaks English only. Once again, you have made me laugh and one of the reasons I have enjoyed your videos this past year. Your reference to Dracula and the photo of Bela Lugosi was FUNNY!! Take Care Mate🤙

thanks for explaining your name & the history behind it. yes in Indonesia we also said like your Serbian : drakula, coz the letter A is pronounced A not others

Excellent review, this devices may be useful with a USB ADC.

it is a nice name ! So is Serbia ! Not so uncommon in USA, England or Netherlands but im called Edwin in France and no one can pronounce it right the first time !

Try one test if you can. Max out the volume on your PreAmp with and without the device and see if there is a difference in the amount of noise from your tweeter.

I would love to hear your review on the new Ares 12th, and comparing it to the Musician Pegasus.

Hello what do u consider as a complete cleaning reclocking device? What about the dragonfly jitterbug? And how those devices can compete with the properly designed usb cables like supra 2.0 or audioquest carbon or others?

i had some hiss from unknown source but solved it with cheap CS947 Tacima 6 Way Mains Conditioner really recommend it 😉

Dc/Dc in PC has Y1 capacitor between secondary to primary, this Y1 capacitor is needed to pass LVD standard , BUT at the same time make headache if you want floating system , such as PC connected to DAC . Especially if you have metal enclosure. So such device break the path of Y1 and also ground loop . I use myself belcanto reflink which is inbuilt galvanic isolated USB interface , it has circuit from analog device.

Today I learned what iiWi stands for :)

Hvala Srbo, i sve pohvale za rad. Congratulations from another "ljub"...(omir)

You have a sonorous, beautiful name. Don't worry about it.

grande Serba!!

Thanks!! You actually answered my question (not about your name).

Merci mec

Cool, I'm Russian Orthodox and those families that follow the religion have it pretty simple in picking names. When a baby is born, they look at a few saints that are commemorated during that time and get to choose the name from their names - names of the saints (male/female). So I'm Ivan and was born on January 11 and got the name chosen by my parents that picked it from John (Ivan) of Kronstadt that was being commemorated on January 2nd. ;) Pretty cool I think, and you can't blame anyone for your name, it's chosen by religion ;) Btw, I love my name! ;)) I love your channel and the way you describe the audio, as we can't really experience it through the video. If there's anyway you could include links to Amazon product pages with your affiliation, it would yield many more purchases I'm sure. As I have to google the products anyway and go to Amazon to buy them, as that's where most of us in North America shop online. It's just easier that way, everyone already has an account with their wallet/shipping info saved and products get delivered in a day or two with easy 30 day returns. Hope that's available for you to set up. This is the process I go through on anyone's video without an Amazon affiliation link: I click the link, it's a site I'm not familiar with and besides look at pictures and maybe specs I have to go back to the video, select the product name in the video title, right click and select search on google, then click the 1st/2nd link that takes me to Amazon where I make the purchase. If Google made affiliation links like that, they'd be even more rich ;) Don't miss out on these affiliation sales!

Interesting story about your name. 😄

Поздрави от България Серболюб! 😊 Ще се радвам ако направиш ревю на Volumio Rivo...

I am Dutch. No problems with rolling r's Srrrrboljub ;) Not sure what the purpose of this device is. Ground loops are hums at the AC frequency level 50 or 60hz, but PC's usually also add a lot of static noise. So maybe it deals with both?

Can i use a usb hub on the device side? Can windows identify the various devices or this isolator only?

Count Dracula lives! And is your channel pronounced, "I-we" as I have heard others pronounce it? Oh, and overall, good work with these reviews.

THANKS FOR ENLIGHTENING…SOME OF US…WITH YOUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE 🧐💚💚💚

I actually had a problem with my Topping stack attached to my 7-year old gaming PC, where I can hear some increasing hiss when the CPU and GPU are ramping up. The previous galvanic isolator from Topping, the HS01, did solve this.

I have a Logitech Powerplay mouse pad (wirelessly charges the mouse) which introduces electrical noise into my GoXLR currently. Something like this might be the way to eliminate that.

Србољубе брате , ја изговарам твоје име без проблема😉

which side should I plug my expensive USB cables into?

Great name . . . Another possible reason to isolate a PC from a DAC -- it may stop violent start-up noise spikes from the PC

Your name sounds like a recipe for a great stew.

Now you got me saying your name over over again.. I am close now!

I'm pretty sure it doesn't use galvanic isolation. I don't know how it removes ground noise but when I was researching a galvanic isolation product I saw these topping isolators are not galvanic.

I think I can handle saying "Srba", no problem! :)

You got a lot of comments quick on this one. You might remember when I greeted you in Serbian the other day with the DO300 thing. I'm pleased that I nailed it on Serbian. All the Slavic languages sound a lot alike to me, and I rarely hear them spoken at all in Texas. Go figure. But I had a Serbian friend here in the US a while back, and you and he sound very similar. The name thing made me think to tell you this overly long comment but I though you might find it funny. The guy's name was Predrag Radavanovíc, that last suffix the same as yours. Maybe "son of" or something similar. Anyway, Radavanovílíc is quite easy to say quickly, but Predrag, well, you know, the "r" in the throat thing.. He wouldn't tell folks his name because of the horrible bastardizations of pronunciation and laughs it could and usually would produce. Out of respect, I decided to make a point to learn to pronounce it, and I have to tell you, it's still hard for me to say even after years of practice. Given this interest in names and language in general, it will come as no surprise that I looked up the pronunciation and etymology of your name, but I have to tell you that the AI thing pronounces each syllable correctly but fails to run the 3 together. OK, so that's the end of my ramblings. Hope you found it amusing. Everyone else is probably annoyed, but hey, I've got nothing better to do.....

Why no introduce yourself as Serba? You can use the rolling 'r', it is used in my own native language (Portuguese), and it's how that letter is pronounced in Scotland, so the English are used to it already.

I asked Siri to speak your name 😀 I’m guessing Siri was worse than children trying to say your name. 😀 I always enjoy your videos.

Great review and story about your name. But I just turned 50. Ouch. 😂

Greetings from Bulgaria. You should see western people trying to say Tsvetomir, my name 😀

👍🙏

Nice to get to know you Srba. I, too, have 2 of my names given by my God Parents, which are over a century old. Let's rrrrrol some rrrrrs ❤

In Serbian (& Hrvatski) language, are there also infinite, affectionate variations for names, as in Russian? I.e., Aleksandr = Sasha, Sanya, Shura, Shurik, etc?

Love the channel and your reviews, however, dispite my own name is hard to pronounce... still unable to pronounce yours.... rs... sorry!

We just need "I am dracula"

In Canada and US the tendency is to shorten a person's name if it is unpronounceable or simply has too many syllables. In other words, we come up with nicknames for each other, which are usually short and to the point. In your case, what shall we use as a nickname? "Serb"? "Serbi"?

SIR-bol-yoob maybe? You say it quickly, and that makes harder for some folks to hear. But I think for me personally, it is less difficult than your nickname - rolling R's is not something I speak; and it would take practice.

Bukvalan prevod za ime bi bio "Serb-kiss" xD

_mans really called himself a Dracula, omg_

Please review Serbian brand „Karan Acoustics“ gear.

Nice to meet you, Boris!

I am one of those who really believe that anyone can pronounce a name even if it is not used to. It’s a matter of “mimic”. That simple. Will it be 100%? Probably not. But if you reach 70%, everybody gets happy.

funny I know how to say your name but couldn't figure out how to say the channel name until recently

Серболюб Стоянович. Веома лако за источне Европльане. Успут, веома лепо име. Као српски. Хвала вам на вашим детальним изданьима. Извини за лош српски.

I hope you don't mind a humble patreon, such as myself, calling you Srba?

Count DACula

Sometimes you will know that you have had a Probleme when it is solved. Than you will miss something.

Your name is more like ,,The lower of Srbia,, ... to Slovakian myslef :D

Be careful out there. “The Vinyl Attack” just got hacked. Bummer for me; horrible for Chris of The Vinyl Attack.

It is probably a single optocoupler. Literally 20 cents worth of electronics.

I don't believe in these types of prosucts at all. They fall clearly into the snakeoil territory to me. Be proud of your name 🙂

Just "westernize" your name to Serba and it's all good.

You lost a fan at the “old people, 50+ years old and grey hair…” 😓 😀

Sorry, but without any measurements, such "reviews" make no sense at all.

While I appreciate all the kudo's and name clarification, I still DON'T know if you recommend or am just doing a show and tell. PLEASE CLARIFY. I get it your a nice guy NEWS FLASH we all are nice people.
