So I have a Regen and a Devialet 400. Had the two integrated for quite some time. Decided I wanted to downsize a bit, so pulled the Regen out of the system, thinking it would not make any impact on the sound. Sadly it did and the Regen is still here.
A similar occurrence happened with my Silver Circle Audio 5, thought hey I don't need this anymore. Pulled it out, boxed it up ready to sell it. Turned on the system the next day, back in it went.
Where am I going with this? I find rather than trying to A/B by putting something in and out of my system, it is easier for me to add something to the system, get used to it for a while, then pull it out and see if it makes a positive or negative difference.
FWIW, YMMV.
My chain is Mac Mini ( 2012 model running El Capitan, Quad Core i7, 16 Gb memory, SSD drive ) running RoonServer to Regen via LH cable, to Devialet. All music on NAS or from Tidal. Using Wireless on the Mac Mini.
