USB Regen from UpTone

[ogs]

I do not think a test of Regen with a Devialet amp at Audiostream would answer all your questions. You'll have to try it in your own system.

At first I used an ordinary USB cable and the short extension that comes with the Regen. SMPS power. Clear improvement. Then I got a 70cm Supra USB to use from my Intel NUC. I replaced the short extension with a 90degree hard adapter I made my self. I also use a AQVOX USB LPS. Works very well and sounds wonderful. I've tried JPLAY (Win Server 2012R2 on the NUC, Jplaystreamer. No further mods to the OS) and currently use MPD with upmpdcli on the same NUC. VoyageMPD latest. Both with MC21 DLNA server&DSP.
JPLAY/Jplaystreamer may sound a little better better, but the MPD solution is more stable. AIR? I honestly do not know. I never got any version of AIR to work and I have decided not to use energy on AIR before I am certain it is stable. I mean 100% reliable... Even then I may not use AIR as Devialet seems unwilling to release AIR for Linux (or maybe this is too difficult for the developers). AIR preferred by Devialet team? They made it so they have to!
