Nothing is perfect but if you read all the feedback on the Regen you will see almost unanimous belief/feedback that the Regen improves everything from low cost set ups to very expensive ones. I am very sure that Regen addresses something very fundamental in computer audio. Hey if it makes the Lampi better you have to believe Regen is a solid concept/implementation. At $175 how can you go wrong.

Hi and i feel the same. If many people say that it improves even high rez systems this means that it works indeed.
This is a cure. I am wondering about a possible prevention i.e. to improve the quality of the usb signal out at pc level and the quality of its transmission to the dac. I have also a weird idea in mind.
To buy a pci-s to usb card and disconnect the usb out power lines.
I mean, leaving connected only the data + and + pins.
Anyway i am expecting this device will flood the market.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,

See my other post today. Regen addresses the noise created at 8khz by the usb protocol itself. Nobody else does this. Only the Uptone Regen does this, that's why it is unique.

Hi and thanks again.
I am a little puzzled ... i read of a usb dac (the Lampi) that is the end of the world.
And i guess also extremely expensive (do not know the price).
and still a 175 dollar device elevates its performance.
They squeeze the last drop from a dac and then they connect it to the computer with an intrinsically flawed usb connection ????
I wonder we all know what is good and what is not ?
we really know what counts and what is marginal ?
Asynchronous usb transmission has been marketed as a godsend freeing from jitter and clock issues ?
and now we discover that is the classical can full or worms ...
I give up and for now i will wait ...
Maybe in some years time the scenario would be more clear.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,

I think you are over reacting. Nothing is perfect, yes even usb. But to the extent that a particular noise source can be identified and reduced significantly is not a condemnation of usb. It's a cause for celebration. Other means of connecting a pc -> dac (spdif/toslink/ethernet) all have their limitations as well. In fact since Ethernet sends data in packets like usb it is also subject to packet noise.

Never listen to the marketers. Listen to the engineers.
Hi and yes you are right ... i over-reacted
But you talk about " the noise created at 8khz by the usb protocol itself ". I guess this noise should show up in some measurements
Instead i see many usb dacs with impressive low noise throughout the audio band.
Should i not see some peaks around 8kHz in the noise graphs ?
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
