Yep, you're right but I can make another test with the following config:
PC -> QED Reference USB cable -> nano iGalvanic3.0 -> included iFi USB3.0 cable -> nano iUSB3.0 -> Chord Signature Tuned Aray USB cable -> Chord Qutest
The cable between Sbooster and ISO Regen is isolated and seems decent. I have also a Ultra MKII additional filter but it is not supported with ISO Regen. The Chord Signature cable will ensure that the iUSB3.0 will not be dragged down by the cheap cable I've used in this test but I doubt it will dethrone the ISO Regen. Because now I use ISO Regen with USPCB which cannot be compared with the USB cable I used at the output of the iFi filter.
Unfortunately, I cannot power the nano iUSB3.0 with a LPS because I just sold my Chord 2Qute which had a 12V LPS. I own currently the Sbooster (5-6V) and a LPS of 5V for Qutest.
And I know that LPS1.2 is good, maybe better than these ones but in Europe is quite expensive and hard to find. If Uptone solves this problem I might buy one. But anyway the LPS 1.2 needs a DC input so another LPS to power it if you want maximum quality. So LPS => LPS => ISO Regen...
