Hi - I've now had this in my system for 2 days. Source is Squeezebox Touch with BOTW LPS, USB cable is a cheap (£50) Chord, can't remember the actual name. Using a Mark Grant power cord to the Regen, purely because I had one lying around. Using the recommended connector, direct to Devialet.
To me, it's not a "wow" improvement, but there's no doubt that it has tamed the metallic / sybillant edge that was present before, and the bass is leaner, and less bloomy - a good thing IMHO. It's certainly easier to listen to for extended periods.
All in all, for those of us who use an SBT and are (im)patiently waiting for our Dialogues to be supported by our Experts, it's a very worthwhile improvement. It'll also be interesting to find out if it improves the Dialogue, once this is supported. If it doesn't, you can always move it on.
