DAC Regenerator and Reclocking Devices

Hi,
Recently I've been looking at a few different devices to upgrade my signal between my Mac and my Ayre QB 9 DAC DSD. SOtM makes a reclocking / regenerator as does Ideon Audio and IFI. The IFI micro 3.0 is apparently the newest of them and looks like a great price when compared to the SOtM tx USBultra. The Ideon 3R USB Renaissance is the more affordable and was engineered strictly for sound quality. Does anyone have experience with these devices? Also, I want to mention that I've been adding Akiko Audio tuning sticks and tuning chips and I prefer their additions so far. Some good orderly direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Dave. I will be greatly interested in your findings when you start subtracting devices from the chain and also your other comparisons.

The SOtM line is interesting to me but I find it to be a little confusing to understand the options from their website.

Best to you Dave,
Dave

dgarretson, the SOtM option is costly and I'm not sure why there needs to be two USB  inputs for two different devices but aside from that, do you believe (to the best of your ability) that it is far above its competitors in effectiveness and well worth the cost?

I'm sorry Dave, it's still breaking in, so maybe you could answer that question at a later time.
