RE: Regen makers are well aware

I really think the Regen folks did a great job.

Swenson himself mentioned several times - in the early days - that he's well aware that things can be improved further.

They've clearly shown to a wide community how flawed most of the USB DACs still are. And they proved most USB DAC manufacturers wrong.

That's where e.g. SOTM kind of failed. They've build an excellent internal PC USB interface much earlier. Their problems: 1. Desktop PCs as audio servers are a dying art 2. price

The Wyrd device wasn't good enough to push the competition.

The iPurifier 2 at 99Euro seems to be the logical next stage. I just ordered one for testing.

Let see if Rankin/AQ comes up one day with an active device @ $69 challenging the iPurifier2. ;) I guess AQ sold quite some JBs. Enough to realize that large volumes @ rather fair prices can make quite a nice business model.


For sure things are getting better soon.


Beside that I listened to the Schiit Yggdrasil the other day. The Regen
just made a very small, still IMO worthwhile, difference in that system. Obviously some DAC manufacturers are listing what's going on out here.
