It's mentioned in the thread I linked to. "Dirty" side is USB bus powered, the "clean" side needs external power, e.g. from a LPS-1. In my opinion this is a good thing, technically, as it provides optimal isolation. The Mutec operates in the same way. The current Regen also needs external power BTW but didn't need the USB bus power.
Edit: plus you'll have the full 500mA available for the device you connect on the 'clean' side. With the Intona (which is fully USB bus powered so doesn't need external power) about 350mA was available as it itself needs power too. This gives issues with devices that need the full, and official, 500mA.
