Oscar, I am glad that the Regen showed up for you and you are enjoying it. Like I said give the Regen some time to settle in. Both the Regen and iUSB 3.0 make system improvements that can be easily heard. They just have two the different flavors that you have notated. Both units offer much value for their respective prices. No need to get a Fan Boy war here over these two units on which one sounds best. Neither break bank money wise. I am keeping both of my units for now and will play with both of them.
My USB 3.0 type cable showed up today and I have it plugged in between my Windows PC on its 3.0 ports and into the iUSB 3.0. Right now the system sounds as good as my Pangea silver USB 2.0 cable. But we need to give things a few days of listening and comparing to see if a $5.99 cable with a better data transfer solution can match a $100 older generation cable?
Good evening Lee Harvey,
As you've stated, I can't see anyone going wrong with either of the two as they both serve their respective purposes quite well, and it merely comes down to one preference of flavoring as we've both noted, much like ones taste in speakers............, while I'm very fond of say the DeVore Fidelity Gibbon 3XLs, I wouldn't for a moment pass up a great deal on a pair of Boenicke W5s as another valid option in which both move me, yet once again simply specialize in doing music from different perspectives where once again, neither does wrong as far as I'm concerned.............., so no desire to be a fan boy for any of these as it merely always comes back to what the end user considers as being more akin to music versus another's.
I'll be waiting to see what thus dedicated 3.0 USB cable does for you?, as I've decided to narrow down my cable search to two more brands at which point, I don't see the need to spend more, or better yet continue trying to improve upon what's in house.
All this illustrates is that one can in fact have a very very very very good sounding CA based system if one selects something that has been voiced maturely as to resemble more expensive wares, as the iFi and UpTone devices have shown me the way, and I can see why a few guys have actually stopped worrying themselves with the date release of the upcoming iFi iDSD Pro, because in retrospect the sound on offer here is not something one could've gotten for less then spending say $2.500 on a CD player in years gone by..................., but in all honesty, these devices are doing so much justice to the signal that's crazy real in the best sense that I don't question why..............., in so much as merely look forward to every waking moment be enlightened in a way that merely puts my mind and body at ease as if for the first time in my entire life, where I've allowed myself to step outside of myself, the concerns of a world where I can't change things and merely breathe at ease.
It's weird now much a well balanced system, as well as growth allows us each to gauge our set of prioritizing in a much different light as our minds are set adrift with delight, as well as a keener sense of peace within.
I for one have learned so much from thus thread and pray that others have decided to at least give these devices a listen, as they all deserve to be better known just for the sake of musicality as shown through such nicely voiced and mature design concepts.
Brother Byron ( yes, I spelled it right on purpose this time around ) once again I thank thee for encouraging me to step up to the plate and follow suit.........., as I do feel in my heart that both companies are doing a wonderful service to music lovers from all walks of life and should be commended, so with that being said..........., while siblings might have moments when they disagree with one another, at day's end do kiwi that you've gained a true friend in me for life.
Be well Lee Harvey | Byron | Dave | Tim | Rich | Bob | Joe | ArtK and anyone else whom I've failed to mention by name, but include all of you in my prayers none the least, as we are extensions of one another, no matter how one views it..........., and Brothers-In-Arms shall always remain just that, as well as of the flesh.
Onwards and outwards I'd say.
