As I said in my post "Of course I could be wrong in my interpretation of
these 8KHz spurs - more testing is required, I reckon"

You have measured 8Khz & harmonics spurs in USB audio, ArnyK has
measured 8KHz & harmonics spurs in USB audio DACs, BE718 has measured
8KHz spurs in his USB audio.
What are you asking me? - are Amir's 8KHZ & harmonics shown in his
measurements due to the same mechanism as these others? Unless he does a
measurement to tease this out, we won't know for sure but I can tell
where I's place money! 

Anyway, it appears that there is a ground loop condition set up by the
ground lift resistors in the Regen that is being picked up in any test
setup that isn't fastidious about avoiding ground loops & it appears
that this is why we are seeing these spurs in some measurements & not
others. It appears that the 8KHz is coming from the USB hub chip's
handling of the 125uS microframes but with better PS treatment this will
probably disappear?
