EtherRegen question

My current system is an Antipodes K40 server, which connects directly to my Weiss DAC 502.  I'm swapping the Weiss out for a Lumin X1.  My question is if I run the ethernet connection directly to an EtherRegen, and then out to the K40, will that clean up any signal issues for both the K40 and X1, therefore, theoretically sounding better?  Thanks a bunch.

The ER is excellent for the Lumin X1. The ideal placement would be right before the X1 using the 'B' side of the ER as the final connection to the X1. If you observe the A-side/B-side isolation needed avoiding mixing power supplies and cables, then the end result will be a wide open soundstage with excellent transparency. You can push it even further with the addition of an external clock but you will never know the difference until you try it and it sounds great without one. I use the ER with the X1 and highly recommend it.

Good luck finding an ER though as it is no longer in production.

Since your original interest appears to be cleaning up the network and not just focused on the X1, I believe you will see benefits with the Muon but I have no experience with it. Curios on what is prompting the move from the Weiss 502 to the Lumin.

The ER with the AD Clock is a killer addition to any network. Uptone developed the product but the users took it to another level as we are rightfully supposed to do :) The ER is simply a great economical solution for reclocking a network. Love this magical device.
