This product unfortunately is no longer available. An alternative is the UpTone Audio ISO REGEN USB reconditioner ( • UpTone Audio ISO REGEN... ).
In contrast to most USB filters the Titanis reprocesses the USB signal, according to manufacturers website. Two versions are available, one with an output current of 300mA and one with 800 mA output. The latter is on review here.

Thank you for making this video! I use one and I definitely noticed an improvement in my system. The reason I took a gamble on one was how cheap it was and it was well worth it. There is very little information online about these, let alone a thorough deep dive review. Many thanks sir.

This is my favorite explanation of digital audio I've ever heard. Hans, your video is extremely well thought out and researched. Bravo! I get the impression a lot that many audiophiles don't fully understand the content of your explanation. For example, that a digital signal is an analog square wave.

I have for many years and still today , playback my music via a Apple mac, an audio quest USB cable connected to my IFI DAC then my power amp onto My Dali floor standers plus a Kef sub, I download files MQA and 24 96 mainly from High Resolution Audio who are based in Berlin. The sound is very very good, but it looks like through Titanis for a small price things can be improved on, as you mentioned its not a game changer turning a poor quality system into a beast, but on a system that sounds great in the first place will enhance it. I will give it a try, I find we are living in exciting times audio wise, the costs are coming down for really great sounding products, audio quality for the same price would be unthinkable 10 years ago. Thank you Hans another quality review.

Thank you very much for the review, I really appreciate it! So compared to the regenerators that use an external power supply, how would you rank this? Is a regeneration device with a good power supply always better?
@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel
@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel Год назад
There are no general rules. If a reclocker is of good quality, it will improve the sound quality. The same goes for an external power supply. And if both are of good quality, that will again further improve SQ.

Hello. At its core, HoloAudio Titanis does the same job as DDC from other manufacturers, for example - Singxer Audio SU 6 or Gustard U18. I understand correctly? Or does the Titanis do a better job than the Singxer SU 6?

I had some significant distortion on my headphone using an entry level usb dac (fiio k5 pro ess). It was caused by the nvidia gpu during heavy screen activity. I easily fixed this by using the USB hub in my monitor for the usb dac.

@reptilia7170
@reptilia7170 Год назад
@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel i agree, but apparently this is very common with usb dac's. To describe the issue somewhat better; when the gpu is a bit active (e.g. a page refresh of a content-heavy website ) there is some buzzing in the headphone. I was unable yo hear it when there is actually something playing but also didnt try hard. I saw quite a few people solved this with USB filters, but apparently a simple USB hub (in my case in thr monitor) breaks this signal.

Hello Hans, Does your system also have attention for the signal cabling and power of the components from modem to your switch? Hope you can comment on that. I also use the Titanis connected to a Intel nuc 8i3 with Roon rock and found that connecting the intel nuc to a sbooster power supply brings another nice upgrade. After that I took care of everything before the intel nuc: the switch, my WiFi mesh router and the ziggo modem. I provided all with sbooster power supplies and quality signal and power cabling, even the cable from the incoming signal to the ziggo modem. Even replacing the memory on the intel nuc with industrial quality memory apacer memory and a intel optane ssd made a nice difference. I am quite happy with the result of the whole upgrade path and the journey till now was a nice experience.

Have no need for steaming. Got my wireless keyboard or there are remote phone apps. Tidal would be nice to discover new music for sure and I will eventually get a streamer for that. I use a budget usb card from elfidelity you can find on kitsune. My usb to coax/toslink is a high measuring one from China thst my tech does a small mod. It can be used as a little dac as well but I have him turn that all off. With his solid core silver digital cable- it bested acrolink with mutec, and m2tech i have tried before. Its cheap and simple but works.
