  1. You must understand we just can't paint with a broad brush when discussing what works and what doesn't work. If one has great synergy with both devices as well as the JB, then his synergy is good...if not, then one should settle for one device. It's all system dependent....we all have different combinations of gear....we need to find what works best in our systems.
  2. westy...is it possible for you to post pictures when you hook it all up?
  3. Lots of guys have these Regenerators, Regen as well as iFI USB3.0. Most of them tell a different story. Its more system dependent than you think. The iPurifie2 is made to add to the old iUSB to bring it up to the level of the iUSB3.0.....so if there is an improvement in westy's system, it could be to system synergy where as not so much in other systems with different gear.
  4. mulberry bush....did you read westy's posting right before yours? If I where you I'd wait for his next review. And besides.....I've been saying for years now....much of what works and doesn't work is system dependent.
  5. Dont know...but the old iUSB and the new iPurifier2 is suppose to do the trick. You know its just marketing spin. You got some guys using both the new iPurifier2 with the iUSB3.0, it then becomes redundant....the iPurifier2 is suppose to be used with the old iUSB, not the new.
  6. Westy...iFI says if you have the iUSB and use the iPurifier at the end of the chain, it's the Grand Slam....so I look forward to your review!
  7. I agree about the analog sound. In fact, I was/am a vinyl junky! I didn't want any part of all the digital craze, until I was at a friends house who was had a shoot out with a Lampizator Big 7 and the PSAudio Direct Stream Dac. "The Dude" Preamp and CODA mono blocks. You could have swore I was listening to vinyl. I decided to see if I could get a DAC under $1000 to run DSD 128 and give me a vinyl feel.....I found it in the iFI Micro DSD DAC and the PSU. I love it!
  8. Which Chinese power supply are you using? and thanks for the kind words.
  9. I've heard glowing reviews about the curious cables as well as the supra cable. I've tried the anti cables in my system with negative results.
  10. Speshal..great posting! just a few things. Firstly: I think the way one places the REGEN and iUSB3.0 in the chain is system dependent. This clearly shows that depending on the associated gear one may be better than other going into the DAC. Second: I've a buddy here in my city who has the lampi Big 7 with a custom fanless music computer. He has great results using the REGEN. He has hardly any benefit using the Jitter Bug. Third: I asked questions of the iUSB3.0 of AMR/iFI support. Their response was if one is not 100% USB 3.0 all the way from the computers HDD into the DAC with USB 3.0 Cables, they don't reap the benefit of the superspeed of the USB3.0 standard, but they get all the other benefits of the IUSB 3.0 such as the REgeneration, REclocking, REbalancing, active noise cancelation, and the new technology of the new improved IPurifier. So it stands to reason, the REGEN would negate some of what the iUSB3.0 is doing if it's in the chain. But never the less, I believe the sonic improvements are what most are after, so that wouldn't matter to many. fourth: they also told me, the speed of the USB 3.0 standard is up to 5megs per second....10 x faster than USB 2.0. The speed of the USB 3.0 standard is better for DSD and those who use USB 3.0 cables with an unbroken chain from the HDD to the iUSB 3.0 to the DAC will reap this benefit.
