In Reply to: RE: " USB REGEN " by UpTone Audio ... any opinions ? posted by beppe61 on May 20, 2015 at 23:55:16
Is anybody hard wiring this?
Any suggestions for a good bang for the buck usb /spdif converter that would play particularly nice w the Regen?

lokie, check this out: GUSTARD U12 32Bit / 384KHz XMOS USB Digital Audio Interface. I've been running one for about six months. It's self powered. I'm very pleased with it.

Hi and thanks a lot indeed for the very helfpul reply.
Actually i have the feeling that some kind of power conditioning could be very beneficial. The U12 has no filtering on the mains socket and i see many digital equipment with toroidals using filter on the mains input.
I understand instead that you are not using anything on the usb input (i.e. isolators, usb power supply devices, etc.)
I am using a cheap Teradak U9 usb power supply to isolate the usb input from the pc.
I guess the Regen would be even better. I am thinking seriously about it. It promises to improve any usb device, even power isolated ones.
A very interesting device and the feedbacks from users are all positive.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,

Well from what i understand any usb devices should have a boost in performance using the Regen.
I am sorry but i cannot suggest any usb /spdif converter because i have a low quality playback system, not resolving enough i mean.
But if you ask this specific question here you will get many valuable recommendations.
However the one in the link looks really serious.
Good luck !
Kind regards,
