Indeed, he and UpTone have made a living from this secret sauce.

I read some of his stuff a while back when I was investigating USB. I found that his "principle" of ensuring the signal was as clean as possible before hitting the USB receiver chip (so that it didn't engage some of its "noisy" circuitry) was, in general, good engineering practice. Meridian, for example, always urged up-sampling to 96k as soon as possible in the chain as they believed the signal was more robust (to jitter I think).

Ideally, well designed equipment should be immune to PSU noise, RF noise, HDMI noise, USB noise, etc., but the reality is that it's harder than most people think; so the "do no harm" principle is a good 'un.
