  1. No risk to try. For me it is the best cable and I've tried some serious contenders as you can see. It won't surprise me as it outperfoms your WW.
  2. Update: Last night I tried two LPSU's. Using the 12v "Audio aan Zee" LPSU I didn't hear any difference compared to the stock psu. Then I connected the 12v King REX LPSU mk2. Woh!!!! I try to explain the improvement but English is not my native language..... The improvement is a much bigger soundpicture and sound expands almost to 360 degrees of course only with recordings that are produced to sound that way. Examples: Amused to death - Roger Waters and The eye - Yello. I've never heard sounds from all directions (from the left and right corners behind my listening chair). If 0 degrees is the position exactly between the loudspeakers and 180 degrees is right behind the listening chair than the soundarea is from 0 to 135 degrees (right side) and 225 to 0 (360) degrees (left side). I hope you can follow this explanation. Tonality, dynamic impact, layering etc stays as good as it was. I find this set up really spectacular and the Regen/Curious/King REX LPSU is a hughe upgrade for me! I am curious how the mystery psu will sound.......
  3. Last week I received the Regen and Curious usb cable (0.8m) and Curious Regen link (0.2m). First (after 3 days 24/7 playing) I listened to the Curious usb 0.8m. It sounds really good and outperforms other cables I've tried (El cheapo printer usb cable, Chord silver plus, Adioquest diamond, King rex y U art, Total dac D1). This cable has a full 3D sound and sounds very natural. Then I put the Regen in the chain and the Curious Regen link. It improved the performance in every possible way. It sounds more relaxed, more tonality and with a lot of details without becoming fatiguing. The combination of Regen/Curious sounds very holographic with amazing depth and with and very good layering. For example: Al di Meola's album Elegant Gypsy used to sound flat and toneless. Now it sounds much more engaging and with very good layering. I hear details that come to live and a very good layering of sounds. Now it's a pleasure to listen to this record again while before the Regen/Curious combi it sounded "boring" (production wise, not the musicians:)). After a while I removed the Curious link and put the solid adaptor in place. The soundstage collapsed and the layering was not as good as before. As someone mentioned before it took just a few minutes to hear the difference. So I put the Curious link back in place. Next step is to experiment with the power supply. So far I used the standard psu and I'm going to try 2 different LPSU 12 v. So far I am very happy with the Regen/Curious combi. Thanks to Alex for the priority delivery to the Netherlands. I appreciate this very much!
  4. Jud is right. I have a Bricasti M1 Dac and you can choose several minimum and lineair phase filters. One of the differences I can hear between minimum and lineair is decay time......
  5. Thanks! I'm looking forward to listen to the regen and same cables you are using.....
  6. My music server has a dedicated LPS and it has 2 extra outputs to connect a device. One output delivers 5v and the other 12v. Can I use the 12v to power the regen using the Bricasti M1 dac?
  7. I've recently ordered the regen and the curious cables (0.8m and 0.2 m). When I received them all I'll post my findings.
  8. Yes. I ordered the 0.8 m and the 0.2 m. I'll post my findings later on......
  9. Hi Alex, That is very kind of you. Thank you very much! I just got a message that my curious cables are sent. I'm very curious to try the combi regen/curious and of course I'll let you know how it sounds. This is a really helpful forum and I've learned a lot by reading all the informational messages. Thanks!
  10. Anybody tried the regen with the King rex uart y (with battery psu)?
  11. Hi there, This is my first post on this forum. I am a newbie regarding computer audio. I've bought a dedicated music server that is connected to a Bricasti M1. I've tried different usb cables and I could hardly believe the impact on SQ. I've tried AQ diamond, Chord silver plus and at the moment I am comparing the Totaldac usb with the King rex Uart y. I returned the AQ. I found that the sound way to thin for my tast. Very precise and articulate but voices and piano had a digital sound with no body. So far I like the King rex most and I start to compare tonight with the total dac. I have a curious usb (regen version 2 cables) on order and expect it next week. I also have the regen on order (no 3246) and hope I receive this before Christmas. I'll let you know what the curious/regen will do in my set.
