This was what I wanted from the 'thousand' posts about Regen in CA, most of which has not been about comparative SQ.
The USB problem is well known and had been denied by leading usb dac designers who used to post here. Only audioengr and I had repeatedly talked about usb signal integrity and power supply quality. Now suddenly this has become 'new technology' but I do give credit to John Swenson for doing something about it, although not to those who insist that it can be safe to power with 20V and pass over 0.8 W thru the device.
On my Zotac, I am able to connect the dac thru only one used usb port, with an iUSB Power and I am surprised by how much better the setup sounds compared to some other 'optimised' PCs.
The LIVA didn't get very good reviews. Why did you go for it and ditched the Zotac?
I have finally decided to spend on a 20V Paul Hynes 2.2 A regulator which will be adjustable from within from 10V. This will allow me to put to the test the merits or otherwise of 'fast' and 'stiff' regulators on the SQ of some PCs (the lab supplies often used are really not up to scratch, nor are the LT108x based ones.
