I have been out of the USB arena for a while. Last I remembered there was an Uptone Regen, iFi, Intonia, Mutec, and the Disrupter. I still own the Disrupter and I just tried it again and it did seem to improve the USB signal. Is there any new USB devices that I should consider? It would be used between a Bryston BDP-2 USB player and a PS Audio Direst Stream Dac.
Love the IFi Micro USB 3 with a good linear power supply for it. Nice improvement in my rig. Less noise and greatly reduced digital artifacts. Music flows more naturally with improved musicality. Also need a couple of good USB cables with it.
Thanks grannyring for your comments. I was beginning to think that no one is using USB . Has anyone tried the newer version of the Regen called the ISO Regen? ozzy
well I'm sure its not the latest or greatest but I've been using a Schiit Bifrost 4490 USB DAC with a Schiit Wyrd USB regenerator streaming Spotify premium from my MacBook Air and I am pretty satisfied with it. Been in this hobby for 40 + yrs. and have tried a lot of systems along the long and winding road and am just enjoying the music these days. the only item I may add is the Schiit Eitr USB to SPDIF converter.......hmm.
I found a used ISO Regen on the gon and just bought it. I am going to wait to upgrade to any $$$ power supply until I asses the usefulness of the ISO Regen. Anyone have experience with the ISO Regen?
