The Sbooster Vbus Isolator is a "no-brainer" tweak to upgrade your self-powered USB-DAC.
The Sbooster Vbus2 is the perfect addition to USB-tweaks like the UpTone Audio Regen. The Sbooster Vbus2 also improves the USB-chain when you have upgraded your DAC or SPDIF convertor with USB B power supply solutions like the Sbooster BOTWS USB B or the AQVOX USB PSU.
The Vbus isolator disables the polluted power from the host PC/streamer, therefor it only works with USB audio devices, that do not need power from the host PC or streamer to operate.
The Vbus2 is not compatible with following USB tweaks:
- Wyred 4 Sound Recovery USB reclocker
- Intona High Speed USB Isolator
So if DAC does not need the polluted PC-power to operate, then make sure to disconnect it.

SBO-ULT-REGEN-ACTIVE
The SBooster Ultra for the UpTone Audio Regen USB Hub is their first switch-mode power supply add on based on active filter technology. Compared to the passive SBooster Single Unit you will get with the Ultra an even greater crispness, tightness, distinctness and focus. Last but not least your Regen will run a lot cooler which has a positive impact on the overall sound quality. The SBooster Ultra upgrade for the Regen is a plug & play addition to your stock supplied Mean Well switch-mode power supply (MW SMPS). The SBooster Ultra uses active filter technology to purify the high frequent ripple and noise of the MW SMPS. Furthermore the Ultra also enhances the poor power characteristics of the MW SMPS completely in order to get the maximum sound quality out of your Regen system powered by a switch-mode concept. With the SBooster Ultra you get high performance, as well as an economical upgrade option for your Regen.The SBooster Ultra upgrade improves following aspects of the SMPS and Regen:
Reduces ripple and noise of the MW SMPS;
Improves the stability of the MW SMPS;
Lowers the internal power dissipation of the Regen.
The SBooster Ultra for the Regen will be delivered as a plug & play device and requires no technical knowledge. The Sbooster Ultra has to be used in combination with your stock supplied 7.5V Mean Well (switch-mode) adapter.
SBO-BOTW
The “Best of Two Worlds Power & Precision ECO” audio upgrade (BOTW P&P ECO) is the successor of SBooster's “Best of Two Worlds Solutions” audio upgrade (BOTWS). This new upgrade product combines power, precision and efficiency in a unique innovative manner that purifies the incoming current immediately upon entering the device. A dual stage mains filter and an earth line choke clean the current from high frequency pollution before the current reaches the transformer. The transformer is a custom-made audio grade transformer with electrostatic shielding. The electronic design allows for up to 50% more output out of the used electronics and consumes even up to 35% less energy than a conventional design. Even though it provides a significant boost in available power, the BOTW P&P ECO audiophile power supply is so efficient that it consumers only a fraction more electricity than what a standard power does.
