Lol! Enjoy your setup! I certainly am.

My Apollo "flat" 0.5M HDMI finally arrived today.....
For $25 it's a nice cable. Listening tests coming up next.
Just subbed my new Audioquest .6m Diamond HDMI for a 1m AQ Vodka HDMI. Obvious improvement in every respect. It's burning in now..... (or not, if you don;t believe in that stuff). Aurender X100L feeding SU-1 into Directstream DAC via I2S.
Definitely looking forward to your thoughts!
I need to try out these AQ cables. I am really loving my Wireworld Ultraviolet though.
Apologize in advance for not being up to speed on Intona problems, but are you suggesting dumping the Intona once ISO REGEN and iGalvanic 3.0 are available? I haven't necessarily noticed bandwidth or latency issues with the Intona. Everything sounds pretty good, but this is as good I've ever heard a system so I might not have the proper perspective.
There will be a version of the USPCB with a rotated head. This will allow the IsoRegen to be oriented vertically and thus fit behind the SU-1.
The LPS-1 is powering the SU-1 and the incoming VBUS. I do not have a Regen (yet).
Tboooe, so you swapped using the LPS-1 powering the Microrendu to hardwiring it to the SU-1? What's powering the MRendu/NAA?
And why I'm curious, makes you and Energy so sure the upcoming/unheard IsoRegen will be able to replace the Intona? I kind of feel products that do one task, does a better job than a product trying to due multiple tasks. I've read the specs of this product, but sometimes you just don't know if it translates into performance.
Thanks!

Because the Intona was not made for audio.
There are way more things that goes on in the digital domain than the Intona can single handedly solve. If you looked closely to my post a few spaces above, It does not deal with signal correction among many things.
The ISO Regen and iGalvanic was created with a collaboration of circuitry to address these issues. They more so effectively solve the galvanic isolation problem in more optimized route, especially for audio reproduction.
Every gear and ear is different. If these multifarious devices do not yield a benefit, or not enough of it, well then, you've just saved yourself some money there :]
Right now the Intona is great for galvanic isolation. The Regen, good for signal recovery and optimization. Once the ISO Regen arrives not only does one gain an improved galvanic isolation stage, but advancements made on the existing Regen that at one point should have been it's own product (Uber Regen).

BUT AGAIN, the same performance in improving the stock power supply can be had for cheaper if you bought an iFi iPower 5V instead. In my opinion, I like this method more because it fits cleaner into the SU-1 and can be hooked up directly to the IEC Inlet. The power cord can then be soldered where it normally would to perform clean 5V to the reclocking board. There is no need for drilling holes or removal of the IEC inlet. iFi iPower also offers dynamic noise supression circuitry on it's input and output so there's limited bleeding noise back into your devices or mains power line.
