Hey Matt, Was just coming in to this thread to say that you had emailed me and you were sending me a new cable. You're an absolute legend. Thank you so much, I truly appreciate it. I knew that it wasn't your fault, it was just a faulty USB micro connector; I was just disappointed that I was so...

Often takes a while to get a response. I was waiting 3 months for a cable to be fixed. Got given a free one for the lack of communication and time, etc... Got both cables. Repaired cable was great, then it broke after 3 hours of use, probably connected 4-5 times to my phone, always careful...

Okay, quick question. Are you using the 3D switch when listening to your Micro on its own? I'm guessing that's why you are getting a reduction in perceived quality when using a standalone amp with it. As was mentioned, the 3D effect switch works differently when using it as a preamp, and not at...

A) Set the switch below to direct, and yes, the volume knob not working is correct. B) Which cable are you using? It could be a crappy cable, so if you're not using it already, use the one that came with the iDSD Micro. C) It could just be that the iDSD micro has a better amp than the one you're...

Some people will say that some sound better than others, but they all sound the same to me, provided the computer is capable of handling that setting. What's the quality of most of your audio library? (E.g. MP3, CD, FLAC, DSD) What you set it to depends on that and the speed of your computer...

Yeah, it's definitely worth trying! My main IEM's aren't with me at the moment (getting a replacement due to the faceplate coming off with a minor drop). The best I have at the moment are the Shure SE425 (I regret selling the SM64 now!), and they're not the best to realize a gain from tweaks...

Just read the Regen review on Audiostream and subsequently, the Jitter Bug review. This got me wondering about how it would affect the signal after the Regen, rather than after the source if it was used instead of a USB adapter. It could be perfect to use with the iDSD Micro between the Regen...

I can see why you would say that,​ but most other manufacturers have a long wait as it is anyway, although I can't comment on communication. Most people that buy from Forza will come back though, as they do make excellent products, especially for the price. Having said that, I would gladly pay...

Just the nature of ordering with Forza, really. I made a purchase on the 2nd, was told a week to manufacture, so I should have it by now, but I don't. I emailed Mat on Tuesday, and I am yet to hear back. But, I've come to expect delays, so it won't really stop me buying again from Forza. I just...

I've been using Windows 10 for a couple of months now (as an insider) and I can also confirm that it all does work without a hitch, and has worked since I first started using it. I had to reinstall MC20, but the iFi audio driver works with Windows fresh out of the box from an upgrade.   Do...

+1 for Onkyo HF Player (on Android), I prefer it over USB Audio Player Pro, and any other mobile music player I've tried (all the major and some of the minor ones).

  Franatic, can you please compare the Forza adapter VS. a generic one in your current Micro setup for me? I'm thinking of buying one if there's a relatively decent improvement.   Although it would mean using a cable between the Regen and your DAC, did you try using the Gemini cable to...

My current setup with the Regen. Better than my PC for home and portable enough to take to the Uni library! Thought there was no point buying a brand new Surface Pro 3 when the Pro 4 should only be a couple of months away, so I bought a Pro 2 second hand while I wait.

Just out of curiosity, you do know that the Regen is made by Uptone Audio and not Schiit, right?

+1!

They definitely suggest it when playing with the gain. Do turn it right down (or off) when doing this. I've noticed that on some occasions if you're playing with the IEMatch or Power Mode switches and you don't get the switch to land perfectly on that setting, it will output at the max...

I know that jexby has both and made some comparisons over at CA, not sure if he did it here too. Hopefully he can chime in though if he hasn't and give a good run down. I've seen some other comparisons around so if I can recall/stumble upon them, I'll post them up. I don't have both on hand...

They're really quite different products. The Wyrd's primary (perhaps entire - not certain) focus is clean USB power. The Regen's is clean USB power and signal integrity. Both attempt to achieve the same thing (a better USB audio output) but one does it far better than the other. Close to double...

Not sure why I made comment to an SD card regarding a Sony phone as they can obviously take them. Anyway, I bought a Sandisk 64GB Micro SDXC Extreme card 60MB/s. Handy to have the extra speed as I'm always writing to it and copying from it, not just reading from it. My Regen is an Amber...

No need to charge it for 24 hours, just until the blue light switches off. Ifi mentioned a while back that that's a precautionary measure in case the iDSD came to you near flat, and you were charging it with a standard USB 500mAh charger, in which case it would take quite a fair few hours. So if...

Yeah, I'd consider the Sony route if I hadn't recently spent $300 on a USB cable and an SD Card. But the m9 seems to be the better way to go anyway.

Do you mean using the phone's (Android OS) USB audio driver to play all audio from the phone? I can't do that with my phone (S4 (Lollipop)), it's apparently possible with the s5 though using Lollipop but funnily enough not with the s6 even with it using Lollipop! It's amusing you say that, I was...

No, but my screen seems to be wider and has greater clarity. :p

Lol, yeah. Battery was going flat after a listening session, so I hooked it up with what I had handy. :)

Putting the Regen to good use! ;)
