Huh? What "fantasy discussion"? We are talking about what the USB Regen is supposed to be doing, right? Over the years people have talked about issues with noise through the USB system including Jon Swenson concerned about the 8kHz packet noise... I've demonstrated on the blog evidence that this could be picked up and amplified through my Emotiva XSP-1 preamp as a measurable issue. As I also said, it's -not -a universal issue because it's not heard through the DAC directly but that noise can be picked up peripherally through a specific analogue input (and put through the gain through my preamp and amps). That's about as "read" as it gets for audiophile discussions I believe. Heck I can even -hear- the darn contaminant as I showed in one of the videos. To me the potential of the USB Regen (and other devices that supposedly clean up USB noise like the JitterBug) is clear. Since I have not seen any objective evidence that this device "works" elsewhere, if it actually cleans up that 8kHz tone for me like I have already attenuated to some extent using the optical cable + external USB hub, then $175 isn't a problem since I already paid $100 for the USB optical cable and I'd be able to objectively show the reduction in specifically that 8kHz noise/tone. It'd be fantastic if the optical USB cable + USB Regen completely removes that 8kHz packet noise! But as it stands currently, I'm not sure I want to plunk down $175 to get this shipped to Canada when I have other ideas of ways to deal with this issue... Thus I was wondering if someone can lend me one locally in Vancouver for a couple nights! That IMO would be interesting to know and I think others would find that observation beneficial (plus add some objective data to demonstrate the positive effect of this device).
