"You should read some of the more in depth reviews of the Ayre QB-9 DSD DAC. Much of the USB isolation, noise reduction, 5v eliminating 'tweaks' out there are IN this DAC."
I have read the reviews and I'm very familiar with it.
" But it's not exactly clear to me what the Regen attempts to do that some DACs may already accomplish within their chassis. "
The REGEN cleans up the power and regenerates the signal right before it gets to the DAC. I think it would be good trick for a DAC to regenerate the signal before it gets to the DAC.
" On the other hand, one has to wonder if these inexpensive little devices are so effective why would a DAC maker not include similar capability and build them into their DACs. I think that's a reasonable question."
This is like saying how come doctors were not using penicillin before it was invented.
This is the first external device to do what the PPA studio card or Jplay card do for USB. All the people with Macs, laptops or other systems that cannot be expanded now are able to improve their USB output.
