ISO Regen performance Improvement Cheap!


Recommended Posts

Addition of LT3045 in line with Ultracap LPS1

Chain > LHLabs LPS > DC cable OEM> LPS1> POe > LT3045 > IsoRegen > iFi iDSD BL to HD800

First change was to swap one DC cable with the POe between UltraCap LPS1 (7v output) and IsoRegen

2nd Change was to insert LT3045 6v from POe DC cable end and IsoRegen

SQ improvement

1. POe - better bass, improved tonality , music has deeper dramatic difference between loud and soft passages( eith UGreen Cat 7 cable)

2. Add the LT3045 .. Quieter background, more detail heard.. improved clarity on sounds on extrene left and right sides of stereo spread

Audibilty of sounds from the back of the venue in Live recordings.. Hall echoes and ambience 2nd and even third echoes can be heard

Due to much lower noise level, effective dynamic range enhanced

 

Next experiment ...1.  JSSG360 every cable

2. Cat 8 .. Found this Japanese CAT 8 cable for trial.. non metallic RJ-45 connector.. ideal.. double shielding same as Supra Cat8

3. POe with a GX12 2pin to 5.5x2.1barrel cable.. next weekend to solder a GX12 to thePOe ( may hv to gut the POe?)

4. use the RJ-45 female to female coupler to do earth return loop for the POe ( switch to Cat ?

Will keep everyone posted...

USPC A>B

No Usb cables 

I use the 90 deg USPC to the ISOREGEN then a regular USPC ->  USB3.0 Female adapter and plug into the iFi iDSD BL. RCA output to my Audionote 300b monoblocs to dual mono APPJ tube amp HP Resistor adapter 

Positive line added 25watt 10ohm Vishap padding resistor to lower output to match HD800(last photo is Vishay w/o insulation covet

Ooh 6.25 mm line to 4 pin is DIY

All cables for RCA and Hp is 16ga gold plated silver(with varnish coating) in teflon tube and Aluminium foil indulated on teflon tube exterior

Wonderful HD..800 (analixus modded) sound?

Ok, but it didn't work for regen to iDSD micro. And, as Alex said it will never do - they are not going to make a link with female A jack

I use the USPCB A>B 90 deg from my minipc serving as a Net Audio Adapter (NAA) to connect to the IsoRegen input port. Then from the IsoRegen Output port, I use the normal USPCB A>B connector to the iFi provided Female B to Female A adapter and then into the iFi iDSD BL dac.

Of course it works. But the key is the provided iFi Female B to Female A (USB3.0) adapter (it is in the box - just find it and use it)

I attach the image below. There are 2 adapters you can use. One is on the left and it has a short patch code with the 2 ends I describe. In the lower fore ground left of center in the packaging is the hard connector without the patch code.

Good Luck
