Can you please advise as to the effect that the ISO Regen will have by using it with a streamer and DAC as opposed to a computer?

 

I am using a Regen, powered by an LPS-1, on the USB out of an Aries femto (then into an Audiophilleo) and it does make a difference :) 

 

can't wait for my Iso Regen to be here :D

Did anyone take delivery of the ISO Regen yet?

 

from the very first post in this thread:

yes, same designer but two different companies: why should they merge their products?

(unless that's what *they* want to do)

 

Sergio Pininfarina has been designing cars for Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Ferrari, Fiat, Maserati and others: no one ever asked to merge those :P

Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Ferrari, Fiat and Maserati are all part of the Fiat Chrysler group......  

 

they are *now*. they were not in the '60s when Pininfarina signed his best cars ;)

To keep this in proper context, would this apply to those who use a Mutec MC3+USB?  In my case I use a Mutec specifically because my DAC (Devialet) sounds best fed via AES/EBU.  Would use of the Mutec eliminate the goodness of the ISO Regen?

 

I'm pretty sure Alex was referring just to other USB>USB devices

I'm using myself an Audiophilleo between Regen and DAC ;)

Never turned my Regen OFF and will just do the same with the ISO Regen

I don't think power consumption is anything meaningful (even more if sitting idle)

can't believe my ISO Regen too was delivered a few minutes ago: thank you so much Alex :D

 

I immediately replaced "amber" with ISO (Aries > ISO Regen > Audiophilleo SE > 2Qute)

not paying close attention (I'm busy setting up fighting with a new router 9_9) but difference is clearly there. and it's a very good one :)

 

more later ;)

(back to my old router, now, just to post this xD)

All USB hosts and devices (so computers, DACs, the hub in the REGENs, etc.) have different wake/suspend states, partially based on VBUS status, but also based--I think--on if data is moving.

 

definitely!

just found my Chord 2Qute's "bitrate light" finally turns off, when playback stops, if the ISO Regen is in the queue

did not with the "amber" Regen. did when using s/pdif instead
