By far the biggest tweak I have done for my usb signal to my dac. I use the Benchmark II HGC dac. I had been using the iFi Usb power thingy and initially just added the Regen. It made a nice upgrade to the music. Eventually I took out the iFi it seemed to color the sound. But the good news was I freed up the iFi power supply. I tried that and it was better than the Regen supply. I also experimented with a LiFePo4 battery supply. It was good but bested by the iFi.
Bottomline it added depth, reduced glare, just sounded more natural. The degree to which it added air and space around instruments in well recorded stuff was just super imo. For $175 you can't go wrong. Highly recommended.
