I plan to do a bit more of that over the coming days/weeks.
FWIW, YMMV.
Before I started A/bing I let a small selection of well known tracks play with the regen out, I didn't hear any detrimental effects or feeling that something was 'worse'. But this was just a small window one evening.
I do think if something's meant to give a real improvement, it should be 'fairly' obvious when properly listening for it. There are so many positive things posted on CA about the device that there are a lot of pointers to clear improvements to listen for. In terms of what people are hearing there, I wonder what is due to the Regen's 5V vs the actual 'regenerating' of the signal.
Assuming I have time to listen, if after the next week or so I can't convince myself it's doing something useful, I'll gladly lend it to an established (and localish) member with a higher end system than me to see what they make of it.
