Jitterbugs from Audioquest and the Regen

Ghosthouse, I think you will like them.

Jc4659, I had the iFi Purifier and it did not mate well with the Regen so I sold it.
But, the Jitterbug and the iFi Purifier are attached at opposite ends on the usb so it may be something to try.

Jc4659, Yea, I think the Regen is very good.
I just ordered the Schiit Audio Wyrd. So, I will be able to try all 3 together.

Agriculturist, I think just like all other things in Audio there is a breakin period. So, give the Jitterbugs time to settle, perhaps a few days.

But, on to your question, no, I do not think there is less bass. But, the bass quality did tighten up a bit.

Received the Schiit Wyrd yesterday. Right now I have the Wyrd going into the Regen and I am still using the 2 Jitterbugs.
Wow, am I getting a deep soundstage!

I also found a used Regen for sale at a good price and I bought it. That one should arrive tomorrow.
Now all I have to figure out is the placement order.
Any suggestions?

Ok, I now have 2 Regens, 2 Audioquest Jitterbugs and a Schiit Wyrd.

The Regens are powered by a Linear power supply with a y adapter and are using the USB hard adapter.
While the Schiit Wyrd is using a .5 Pangea AG USB and is then plugged into the first Regen.

I'll give them a few days with them together before I provide my impressions.

Here is my conclusion with the Schiit Wyrd, Regen, and the Jitterbugs in my system.

First off, I tried every single configurations with these units.
The 2 Regens plugged together using the hard USB connection and the 2 Jitterbugs plugged into my Bryston BDP-2 provided the best overall sound quality. And boy does it sound great! Very deep soundstage, but also very natural sounding throughout.
Funny, I found out with all the gyrations that I made, was that my linear power that I use to power the Regens is sensitive to power cords. I ended up using a Mad Scientist power cord that was plugged into a Bybee power purifier.

The Schiit Wyrd just wasn't as good as the Regens or perhaps it just wasn't synergistic with the Regens. Every time the Wyrd was in the chain the soundstage became out of focus. Vocals that were centered became all over the left, center, and right.

I even tried the Wyrd in front of my external hard drive and I still didn't like the result.
So, the Wyrd goes back for a refund. I would have kept it if it showed it's worth somewhere in my system.

Just an update.
I had the iFi Purifier and the iFi USB power supply.
I found that they did not work well with the Regen.

To me the Regen is the best overall improvement for Audio. Adding another Regen adds another layer of depth. And then adding the Jitterbugs improved upon that.

I have also noticed an improvement in my UHD 85" Samsung with a couple of the Jitterbugs installed in the open USB's.
The picture becomes even more 3D like.

Beware of trying out the Schiit Wyrd. There 15 day money back guarantee resulted in a cost of almost 50% to return it. I only had it for 4 days. This is due to the cost of shipping both ways and there "restocking fee".
No wonder they picked that name.

Wow! Coli, that's some response. The Direct Stream is the best performing Dac I have tried, especially with the latest Yale upgrade.

Why don't you list your system?

Rhanson739, Thanks for your very informative post.

Agriculturist, Thanks! I will try it.
