RE: Itona Review

"Excellent and puts pay to those who can't hear the Regen or iUSB3 at work."

Seem to recall most folks here think the Itona makes the most difference(improvement?) in SQ, at least when compared to the Regen (with various PS) and other devices like the Jitterbug(does little for me) and iUSB (haven't tried it).

Don't you feel that it is possible for the performance of these 'gadgets' to be somewhat source as well as DAC/Next-Gadget-In-The-Chain dependent?

Is the USB > I2S circuit in the GUSTARD DAC powered from the DAC or the Source?

In the case of the REGEN, if the USB > I2S circuit inside one's DAC is USB powered, wouldn't the PS of the REGEN be more critical to any improvement in SQ that if the USB > I2S circuit obtained its power from a LPS inside the DAC?






First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
