By your above statement you are willing to "believe" in Swenson's device as "a product that actually do something real" because it has a plausible explanation but no empirical evidence to show the issue i.e. no measurements showing reduced USB signal integrity causing any noise issues & no evidence showing that the Regen actually addresses this.
What you consider "bonkers" about SBGK's MQN software player is that there is no "good story" that convinces you. Dare I suggest that this is your bias in operation? Bias eneters into more than blind testing :) I happen to believe that MQN also addresses the same issue - noise intruding on the signal. It's just doesn't have as specific a case to make as the Regen device does - MQN seems to effect system level noise, whereas the Regen is very specifically addressing USB noise issues > ..but you could try the toslink or spdiff input on your DAC too , what > works best with any given DAC seems to be very implementation dependent > .
