sans-serif;\">The tX-USBexp has been improved as following points compared to tX-USB.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">&#8211; It supports USB3.0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">&#8211; It uses PCI express x 1<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">&#8211; Since it adds motherboard noise reduction filter for PCI express bus, it has reduced the noises come through motherboard.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">&#8211; It has been changed to one USB port.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">&#8211; Since it add noise reduction circuit on output signal of USB port, it has reduced the noise passing to external device comes through USB signal line. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">&#8211; Since it add external power input jack in addition to built-in power connector 4pin IDE, it is available to use external linear power or battery <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">&#8211; It uses 4 layers PCB, so it\u2019s stronger.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">&#8211; It enhance the noise reduction circuit in power input, the noise from PC power has reduced.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">&#8211; It uses better performance of the audio band jitter clock.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">&#8211; It adds power supply noise blocking circuits for the clock separately.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">&#8211; Since it adds the breaking current capacity of over-current protection circuit on USB port, it has enabled to much more current output.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">&#8211; Since Ultra Low Noise Regulator circuit has been improved, the noises generated from the power circuit of tX-USBexp are reduced further.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">&#8211; The sound has been much better than tX-USB, particularly the sound through power supply from an external battery cannot be compared with others, and it has been much more improved.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">&#8211; We highly recommend using mBPS-d2s as an external power supply if you want the best sound through a PC<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-y5d6a-106168f94adf7454270a676f2055ee2d'  itemscope=\"itemscope\"

sans-serif;\">\u00a0The basic concept and techniques for tX-USBhub are the same as the tX-USBexp.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u00a0For example, such basic concept and techniques below\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">&#8211; Ultra Low Noise Regulator<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:

style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">&#8211; Multi stage regulator and others<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">are applied into the tX-USBhub as well, and the main components used on the tX-USBexp are also the same as the tX-USBhub, so I can say their sound\u00a0character and design are like a twins.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u00a0But the main difference is that tX-USBhub is not a USB host card as like the\u00a0tX-USBexp or tX-USB is, the tX-USBhub is a USB 2.0 hub for audio purpose and\u00a0has 2 USB ports. This product is connected to a mainboard by USB connector\u00a0not like as the USB cards, so tX-USBhub can get more benefits than the USB\u00a0cards in sound quality, it doesn\u2019t mean that tX-USBhub performs better than\u00a0tX-USBexp, it means tX-USBhub has an advantage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u00a0Also the tX-USBhub can work with external power too, and it makes sound\u00a0improved a lot, you can consider the external power supply to our mBPs-d2s\u00a0or sPS-1000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u00a0One last thing, even though both tX-USBexp and tX-USBhub have the same\u00a0techniques, concept and sound character, after all, the result comes out\u00a0differently depending on various PC circumstances as like what M\/B, power\u00a0supply, memory, CPU, HDD, SSD are used.. \u2026so it can not be judged simply\u00a0which one is better one.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-2oxfe-9f522460dd368577d06ea2f811f854e0'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-3' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-3' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-3' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"What is the red switch for?\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: What is the red switch for?\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: What is the red switch for?\">What is the red switch for?<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-3' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-3' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">This switch is to control for USB power and it does not control the external power.<\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-lbrw2-63ae15197e7c37763fa55a779cf7ef5d'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-4' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-4' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-4' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Does it have compatibility issues?\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Does it have compatibility issues?\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Does it have compatibility issues?\">Does it have compatibility issues?<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-4' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-4' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Yes, we had reported the\u00a0compatibility issue for\u00a0DCS,\u00a0Scarlatti dac.
