I should log into DV chat more often. Ordered mine yesterday and found this thread today. Very interested in this little device.

Hi everyone - I recently moved from a Naim + Hugo combo to a Devialet (to be set-up this weekend).
I was planing to connect my Auralic Aries to the Dev. But ideally I would connect the Dev directly to my Synology NAS avoiding one more box. However the RF noise from the NAS would surely affect the SQ. So I was wondering:
1/ Is the Regen an USB isolator, ie. does it also eliminates RF noise - as the Olimex isolator does?
2/Does it support +24/48 format? (the Olimex does not)
3/ is the Dev's USB inputs galvanic isolated?
Thanks!

The Regen is not an isolator as in galvanic isolation, but it will clean up the USB signal dramatically, including RF.
The Regen is transparent to all rates so will absolutely work above 48kHz. Even with DSD and DXD
The Devialet USB input is not isolated
Connecting Synology directly to Devialet would only work via USB. AIR Ethernet is not available for Linux and Audio Station on your Synology is nowhere near as good as the Aries. Synology -> ethernet to Aries and USB from Aries via Regen to Devialet will be good. Maybe you could look at one of the filtering ethernet cables like the Totaldac to put in front of the Aries.

Thanks ogs - this sounds very interesting indeed

Will the USB Regen connect directly to the Devialet without obstructing the SD port?

rufus - i wont have mine until june unfortunately.
rwjr - you can use either a solid connector peice from the regen to the amp or i believe it also comes with a short flylead which you could use if you are worried about the SD port.
