Some say that it has a small port that does not fit their external, and that it falls out the USB port.

    Poor Man Audiophile Cable for USB DAC
    5 Stars
    Poor Man Audiophile Cable for USB DAC
    Using this Y-cable between my computer and external DAC (Digital Analog Converter) for my audio system with a twist (see photos attached). With an add-on power source (a battery power bank or linear power supply), the DC noise from my PC no long enter my DAC any more. All it needs is a tiny Scotch tape to go with this cable and an additional power source (learned it from head-fi.org, credit to member zilchm0d). There are many products out there from Schitt (USA), iFi (UK), etc. that cost $100+ to $300+. My personal favorite scam is the $265 iFi Gemini Dual-Headed USB Cable (1.5 Meter) (UK branded and made in China), which is essentially the same concept as this USB Y-cable, I believe. With this little "Y-cable" trick, I could save on other fancy audiophile USB cables too as the result from this Y-cable alone was just great.
