Total USB Solution+® banishes ALL USB audio gremlins

The micro iUSB3.0 addresses all 8 significant USB audio gremlins that lead to poor

quality computer audio in one fell swoop:

• Corrects signal balance

• Suppresses frame noise

• Suppresses packet noise

• Ultra clean power

• Eliminates ground noise

• Corrects impedance mis-match

• Eliminates USB Jitter

• Restores signal integrity

The all-new micro iUSB3.0 boasts all-original, cutting-edge USB audio technology: Active Noise Cancellation+®; REclock®; REbalance® and REgenerate® whilst still retaining and improving upon the original PowerStation® to PowerStation+® which was at the heart of the success of its predecessor.

How much is it? Can't find it on their web site.

And oh, anyone wants to buy one and have me measure it, you know where to find me. :)

$399.

Have one on order!
Great. Looks like this is going to become a big category of products.

Just judging superficially, I like these guys. The enclosures are nice and metallic. They have great measurements for their supply and at least one spec. As such I don't expect to find electrical faults easily.

Let us know your experience. If there is enough interest, and someone will buy it off my hand, I can also buy one and then resell after testing.

I own the iFi Micro iDSD DAC, iFI USB (previous model of above product), and the iFi Nano iDSD. All really beautifully made and smartly designed.

My only beef with the Micro iDSD DAC is the input is a OTG USB connection which requires the supplied adapter or their own cable, which is not bad.

ON PAPER, I repeat, on paper, the USB 3.0 seems like a more advanced product than the REGEN in several key areas. I believe it ships with iFI's own
iPower supply which they claim is quieter than a battery.

Like others here, I do not like the XPS supplied with the REGEN..kludgey and not greatly thought out.
