I have just completed connecting my QB9 DSD 20 and my QX-5 20 (as a DAC only) to my KX-5 20 preamp so I can compare them in my main system by only switching the preamp inputs. I will report back next weekend.

CG I have had issues with my ISO REGEN connected to my QX-5 20 as you described earlier, original USB REGEN functions normally. I installed a simple on/off switch in the power line providing power to the ISO REGEN. Normally power to the ISO REGEN is always on. If there is a problem I cycle the power off and back on to the ISO REGEN and it then works fine till the next time. What is so weird is that I have not had any issues with either REGEN when connected to my QB-9 20!

jma2 I am 99% sure both the REGEN and ISO REGEN generate its own clean 5v for usb output.

Mine came back about 2 weeks ago and has been in use since it arrived, no issues at all. Sunday I connected my QB-9 20 to one of the Balanced inputs of my Kx-5 20 and connected my QB-9 DSD to another balanced input. All I had to do id move the usb connector from one to the other to compare between them, everything else in stream is identical. The upgraded QB-9 20 was well worth the upgrade and as others said it is fantastic, I could not be more pleased with the upgrade..
-
I know it arrived but has not returned as of yet.

MY QB-9 DSD is in transit to Ayre for the 20 Upgrade, scheduled for Sept 3. Will report when it returns.

Just a quick question. I am looking at purchasing a N10 and would like to know when playing music in a "random sequence" can it be done by Songs as well as by Albums.

Agree with Superdad 100%.

I have been using a Codex in my office most every day since 2015 without any issues at all. It is being used as a pre amp to Focal Monitors and most of the time as a Balanced Headphone amp. I have had Zero issues at all.

bluebeat I used a Wireworld Platinum starlight with my Ayre QX-5 20 and was extremely happy. I have tried 2 configurations on the Lush 2 that were not really any better, The third A: B-Y & W-R , B: B-Y was as Peter described earlier and lasted for 4 days. I then changed to A: B-W-Y-R , B: B-W-R, now 7 day ago. When i listen to Channel Classics CCS SA19503 “ La Stravaganza”, which I have many times, as best I can describe, it now “feels and sounds” as if Rachel Podger and Arte Dei Suonatori are in the room with me.

Peter Lush 2 - A: B-W-Y-R, B: B-W-R replaced what I considered my reference Cable between Iso Regen and Ayre QX-5 20.. Been listening to this configuration for 6 days now. " "Unbelievable Improvement"", Thanks Peter.

will iTunes rip the HCD info from an HDCD disc?
AB835 replied to Ralf11's topic in Disk Storage / Music Library Storage
The OPPO 105d will play and decode HDCD CDs.(Verified with Reference Recordings RR-136). At this time I do not use the OPPO as the DAC for my computer system but I would expect it would also decode HDCD through it digital inputs also. I will try to reconfigure my system next week to verify it works with the computer. -

UpTone Audio USB Regen Listening Impressions

I am using a LI fe 2s 5000mha battery with my Regen. This battery is 6.6 v nominal and does not need a regulator. I only recharge it about once a week. LI fe cells are much more stable than the Lipo cells. I prefer this setup to the HDPLEX LPS set at 7.5 v.
