3R USB by Ideon Audio

I will let you know my findings.

I have to say in advance I'm quite sceptical about this. I can understand that there might be an issue with the original signal coming through a USB cable but what I can't get my head around is why a company like Devialet would not be able to do themselves with that signal what a regenerating device does.  
Think about it this way. Say there's a huge issue with jitter over USB. Devialet wants to get the best out of their amp but instead of tackling the jitter issue on their USB port with something similar to the 3R USB device built into the amp, they opt to improve their amplification and power supplies. And this is not just Devialet. It's DAC designers almost across the board.

So I'm going in eyes (and ears) open and will see (hear) what happens.

I see what you mean. I believe that it is probably due to limitations in cost and final product price, because the end product will have iincreased cost, which can be significant. Furthermore, it may not be cost effective for them to devote human resources and money to R&D this kind of devices.

We will just have to wait and see if they will come round. Already Bryston made a cloned version of raspberry pi....
