ISO REGEN Listening Impressions (kicked off with some measurements)

I've got my ISO Regen + LPS-1 from the 2nd batch amd have been very pleased with the marked improvement they have made for my system. The ISO alone sounds better than either the SU-1 interface alone or ISO + SU-1. Therefore I have sold the SU-1 (my DAC, Aqua La Scala Optologic, does not accept I2S from the SU-1 which may explain why I do not preceive additional benefit of the SU-1).

 

Now I wonder whether anybody has succeeded in using an iPhone/iPad as a digital source through a CCK lightning adaptor leading to the ISO and then a DAC. So far it does not work for me. However, it works well with my PC laptop as a source. 

 

If you have made it work with an iPhone/iPad and the ISO, please enlighten me how you did it. Thanks.

I have the same DAC... Very happy....

As I mentioned before, some people feel the microRendu sounds better in other modes like HQPlayer/NAA.

I think ISO REGEN vs either clock upgraded microRendu or ultraRendu will be more evenly matched.

 

I chose to not add the ISO REGEN to my mR, but to remove the mR of the chain for now. My music is on a Thunderbolt Raid (see signature). Waiting for other members to chime in before I put it back in the chain. I like the simpler chain. My question is - does anyone knows if HQP delivers better HQ "direct" or via NAA?
