"USB DAC-UP provides clean, noise-free power delivery to your Digital-to-Analog Converter. DACs can be sensitive to fluctuations in power from the other USB ports, which is why USB DAC-UP takes advantage of an isolated power source that minimizes potential fluctuations and ensures the best audio experience possible."
I've also had to use a 5v step up converter to provide a filtered power source for the camera on my FPV drone I built. I can see why an Audiophile would want filtered voltage supply if they had money to burn I guess.

The Asus RT-AC68U did not have proper shielding on their USB 3.0 hub (at least in their launch hardware revision) which lead to interference.

I successfully followed this tutorial using Arch Linux as my primary OS and emulating Windows in QEMU with PCI passthrough to the graphics card. Unfortunately, I had too much lag in my Oculus Rift since I didn't have a dedicated USB PCI card to pass-through, but the performance overhead for AAA games was minimal and I was able to max out Fallout 4 with no noticeable performance decrease.
@geekable: "@comex If I'm reading this correctly, he's bragging about stealing Vicarious IP. Great plan there"
@littlesteve: "@geekable @comex that's exactly what he did, again sounds exactly like him"
@SylerClayton: "@littlesteve @geekable @comex Yeah, no surprise there. I respect some of his past work, but would it hurt the guy to be a little less cocky?"
@littlesteve: "@SylerClayton @geekable @comex he has always been a little theify, it's his arrogance of "I don't need a team I can do it better"
@SylerClayton: "@littlesteve @geekable @comex Didn't he leak some of @Mathieulh's work dumping metldr on the PS3 or did he do all by himself?"
@Mathieulh: "@SylerClayton @littlesteve @geekable @comex he didn't do shit, I trusted him with my work and he leaked it. Then I had to document it all just to prove that it was indeed mine, even though I had not planned a public release that soon."
@marcan42: "He also gave no credit for our ECDSA fail research until I complained to him."
@littlesteve: "@marcan42 @SylerClayton @geekable @comex @Mathieulh that's our geohot right there"
@marcan42: "And AIUI he was the "first" to unlock (not JB) an iPhone but based on others' work."

@comex, @Mathieulh and @marcan42 of @fail0verflow are very respected members of the community. I worked personally with @comex to develop the kernel exploit used in https://github.com/wiiudev/libwiiu. I can attest that he's one of the nicest and smartest hackers I've ever met and helped me learn a great deal about exploit research and development. Take these words with a grain of salt if you must, but I wouldn't immediately disregard the statements of @geohots peers regarding his character...I'm not contesting that he's brilliant (he certainly is and I can respect that). I'm just saying he seems to be a bit of an egomaniac and sociopath.
Essentially you can just automate the backup/restore of the eMMC flash storage and brute force the PIN. :)
I use a PS3 Dualshock controller and it works wonderfully. :)
