USB Regen from UpTone

[baddog]

Anybody that has tried a Regen with Auralic Aries and Devialet?

Thinking of getting a Regen to go between my Aries and my 400. I have a Cabledyne Silver USB cable that connects them today.

Does the Devialet need the +5V to be connected for the handshake, or does it only need the ground? If I understand it right a LPSU for the Regen is a good thing to get but if the Devialet does not need the +5V then you could power the Regen with lees than 7.5V and there is more options to chose from if it is ok with 5V.

I have all three. Obviously lots of praise for the Regen. Be mindful that if you get the Regen you will need to "prop" it to proper height to the USB input on your Devialet so it doesn't pull down on the USB port on the Devialet. That is true of whatever device you connect a REGEN into.

As to your initial question, I don't have a definitive answer for you ( sorry ), I think it really varies by system and listener and a variety of other factors. However from what I have read the majority of Regen users who post on Internet forums are happy users. Maybe you can find a fellow user close by who can lend you one, where about do you reside?
