That is what I am doing ... UpTone Audio of course have the JS-2 linear PSU, though my thoughts is that is a bit of overkill for just powering a single USB Regen
(not that I don't think of getting a JS-2 ... if I could power a DAC and a Regen from the JS-2, then I would have bought one by now, unfortunately my DAC/HeadAMP requires 19V which is a bit rare),
so I am waiting for their own UpTone Audio power supplies for the Regen which are both radical and less expensive.
Oh, if your DAC requires 5V power for it's USB input, you may need an iFi power 9V (they comes in 5V, 9V, 12V varieties) to plug into the power part of the USB Regen.
This FAQ on UpTone website has more detailed information on why ...

So I am going to be patient and wait for the new power products from UpTone Audio, hard as that may be for me :bigsmile_face:
My DAC is the iDSD micro, and so far i know it does need 5V usb hub.
Thanks for info, and will look forward
to Uptone Audio.
