RE: Thanks for the review, & postings: question




Thank you for that explanation......

It makes really good sense.

And, again, - depending on what you mean by isolation of the PHY processor, this indicates NOT a problem with the DAC, - but with the integrity of the USB signal coming from whatever transport. And dwelling on the PHY isolation for a moment, - are we talking about a physical shielding of something like ERS paper? Moving the PHY chip physically away from the rest of the circuit....

I intend neither crassness, nor sarcasm: but from most DAC reviews showing pictures, - the PHY transceiver chip isn't being physically isolated. Yet the DAC manufacturer seems is often "blamed" for what is a "problem" at the transport. When in fact, (and/or beyond the choice of which PHY processor), there isn't a lot a manufacturer can do.

Without going into the fact that we agree that running SPDIF has issues, - just different kinds: an external USB to SPDIF IF may not have the same issues if reclocking & converting is done well. In that case, the Regen theoretically would be less effective.

To be totally clear, on the basis of all the testimony, I am NOT saying that the Regen isn't a supere bloody awesome device: I am just trying to weed through some of the information, and get an indication which application of it is optimal...

Cheers,
