I have the Iso-Regen with the LPS 1.2 hooked up now. The sound is definitely improved...smoother, more "organic" if you will. Hard to exactly state what I'm hearing but it simply sounds more "right".

However...it does not like to consistently play well with my laptop and Benchmark DAC. It will be making beautiful music then suddenly the computer will lose connection with the DAC. Rebooting oftentimes does not help and Roon or JRiver cannot even see that the DAC is attached. Remove the Iso-Regen and all is well...except for the reduced sound quality.

Very frustrating. I am looking at -E- making a Silenzio for me which includes the JCAT USB Femto card that both filters noise and reclocks the signal. This would ideally do all the things the Iso-Regen is doing but would be done at the source. Hopefully this would be the best of both worlds as I would no longer need a USB "doo-dad" attached that could muck up the connection between the computer and DAC.
